Yeah the line is certainly a difficult one to draw. I guess they focus on little things because legally they can only focus on those specific items which have been complained about by the affected companies. Taking a more general 'broadside' would be much more dubious.
It's an interesting point you make about other programmes still being able to run - I think it was last year (maybe 2 years ago) when Microsoft deliberately included buggy older versions of 3rd party software with windows to give the impression that it was broken. Also their websites are very fond of feeding deliberately broken pages to other browsers that they disapprove of in the hope of making users believe the same thing. Its about time someone took them to task, even if they are forced to tackle the more 'mundane' issues which might seem not central to the debate.
