I guess I'm not alone:

Microsoft is not "filling a niche", they are a monopolistic (convicted
on all counts), predatory and, quite frankly, evil blight on the
Internet in general. They do not *create* jobs, they have destroyed
thousands of jobs by suppressing software development that tried to
compete with them (Netscape, OS/2, etc.).

Supply and demand? You must be joking. Microsoft never has and never
will play by those rules, they have deliberately manipulated both over a
long career.

Oh, and BTW, we *force* businesses to do things all the time, it's
called "regulation", you know, like they can't dump PCB's into Lake
Ontario, they can't trade shares on insider information, all that
"communist" stuff.

Pffffft!
