I'm not sure they're intentionally bad or malicious. I'd chalk it up to incidental monopolistic behavior as a result of their market position. There's no incentive for the company to fix the "Use a web service..." feature; but there's a strong incentive to put ads for their own products on the site. So it works out to the same thing, for a competitor. @Ari: Okay, fair enough. I’m not sure they’re intentionally bad or malicious.

You're saying that because the "Use a web service..." feature is totally and impossibly broken, but through a round-about way they can still get a link in front of you that MSFT is being monopolistic? Incompetent is more like it. Oh come on.

It will get less so when Microsoft pushes Silverlight out via Windows Update; the best Adobe can do is include air in an Acrobat Reader or Flash upgrade. All pretty subtle at the moment.
