You see, that's the difference ;)

I am not working for the software vendors, but for our clients. And if they 
use products of companies which repeatedly misuse their monolistic position, 
that's none of my business. Instead I am thinking about good projects and 
how to solve the client's problems :-) Of course you could tell the client 
to bugger off... But I think it's not reason enough if they use Microsoft ;)
