And why would they not?

Many Windows files are indeed malware, Rootkits, and spyware. Anything Microsoft places on a PERSONAL computer to control or manipulate the computer or the PERSON, and furnishing zero benefit to or approval of the user (person), is the perfect definition and description of "malware".

Does not Activation, WGA, SPP, and DRM fit the definition and description perfectly? Punishing their "customers" instead of going after the real crooks (pirates) who are hijacking their products? Like the farmer going to the Farmer's Market and trying to arrest the innocent migrant fellows who offloaded that load of contraband watermelons. Or the innocent "customers" who bought them.

Or even worse, ruling that no one can legally plant a watermelon seed and grow their own.

Windows files say: "we own the market, lock,stock, and barrel".
