If Microsoft had a monopoly in this area, then it could be seen as being
anti-competitive. Same thing ought also to apply to only having
software available for Windows, as that would be certainly
anti-competitive.
I'm just realising why so many of the trolls here keep up the mantra
"oh, it's only worth developing for Windows...", it's presumably to try
to keep the anti-trust questions down by turning the debate onto
something else.
