If you want to be honest, stop using the word monopoly here. It's got nothing to do with it. I don't like ms's tactics, but it's no different than Apple saying if you want to run osx, then you must buy Apple hardware.
What's going on here is a company having a popular, closed, product that people are compelled for various reasons to continue using. That windows may have gotten to that position by anticompetitive practices in the past is not the issue here.
