And they should be. They make hardware. It is in their best interests to find suitable software vendors to put on their hardware.
Granted, many people hate Microsoft, but they are entrenched, and they have a market, and they have lots of capital. It makes perfect business sense to attract as many vendors with solutions that fit on your hardware as possible.
This was one of the primary driving forces between the Palm, Inc. split into pa1mOne and Palmsource, so they could separate without a conflict of interest. Moving to ARM devices made that decision even more clear.
