Instead of "Microsoft has a majority market share," how about "Microsoft has a *monopoly* market share?" Is that not really the problem anyway? I mean, Cub Foods holds a majority market share in groceries where I live, but they don't get to dictate terms to customers and suppliers alike, like Microsoft can and does. Why? Because they wouldn't have a majority market share for very long. Microsoft gets away with it because there is a (perceived or actual) lack of viable options in the marketplace.
And that might be a bug to us, but to Microsoft, make no mistake about it, it's a feature.

We don't exclude Microsoft or it's employees from using Ubuntu...
In fact both Microsoft (more specifically their open source lab) and
some of their employees already use Ubuntu! :-)
