Microsoft lost half a billion Euro case against it by the European Commission. The case is about Monopoly, as everyone could imagine! Microsoft uses it's monopoly over Windows Operating system to extend it's market over other services (like media players, in this case). Their strategy is simple: hide some core protocols called "server interoperability protocols". Now others cannot operate on Windows - as smoothly as Windows applications do!
It's only a tip of an iceberg. Somehow there should be an end to this monopoly of companies like Microsoft in IT field
