You really don't know what you are talking about. The issue with Microsoft was not bundling a piece of software and not fixing the box model.
Microsoft (of the 90s) deliberately worked to undermine the web using their dominant market position, adding their own extensions to ensure lock in. Their behaviour in the web standards process was appalling, and directed from above (sometimes by phone outside meeting).
"Embrace, extend, and extinguish" was not hyperbole.
