Look, even if Microsoft is doing this to hurt Linux - it's business. Microsoft is a for-profit company that has to make money to survive, so why is everyone suddenly all suprised and hurt that Microsoft appears to be playing hardball? And why does everyone seem surprised that if this is the case, they didn't announce their moves in the first place.

Microsoft plays by the rules of the corporate world - it's not about merit, it's not about feeling all warm and fuzzy at the end of the day. It's about survival and eating your competition.

Microsoft is a carnivore, vs. Linux the herbivore. That's just the way the world works, folks.
