Do you mean free utilities on top of their OS to increase sales and to kill off businesses in vertical markets?
Such as adding networking to the OS where to network prior one would buy a third party product.

I agree with most of what you said but MS will give the software away
free to the low end market to stay competitive. The only hope for
competing OSes is that MS doesn't notice until it's too late.
Freeware has been one of the major tactics they have used for many years.
