Actually no. If you believe in software freedom, the demise of any company isn't a desirable trait. Over 90K jobs would be lost not to mention a lot of technology and wealth. What would be desirable instead is a shift to free and open source software. Microsoft is a important organization but hardly the only company practising a business based on proprietary software.
