Will backfire

I would say Microsoft Brazil is pretty stupid to do this. It will inevitably backfire politically in Brazil (and also in other nations outside U.S.). Meddling by large foreing companies is always resented, and when the meddler is a huge, known monopolist, it is all the worse. If Microsoft had any business sense, it would now retract the accusations and apologize, before more damage is done.
