Paper Tiger
Microsoft is a paper tiger for the most part. They can hurt you in three ways: Leverage Office against you. Leverage Windows against you. Work the patent system and get an IP ruling against you.

If you can avoid those three pitfalls, MS is a pushover. They can't react quickly because they're too bloated, and they never have been able to write decent software.
