This has degenerated into a pissing contest. Tell me in simple plain English
how Microsoft's business practices or policies interfere with communication
between people who don't use their products.

Let's be fair about it. In order to apply,the people who are interfered with
have to be using NO Microsoft products. It's not limited to Microsoft
Windows. They have to be not using I.E. (which is pretty much Windows only
these days) or  Entourage or Outlook or  IIS. Programs that incendentialy
have parts of them copyright by Microsoft, such as Solaris are ok.

You also have to limit yourself to legal copies of the programs. Viruses
and worms don't count unless Microsoft does not offer a patch to fix 
the exploit they use.
