How to compete with Microsoft

I just happend to come across to this the Inquirer (It is famous of MS-bashing), ironic but true.
Qoute:

Plan B: Start by developing a killer ap. If you can't think of one, don't worry - simply write a copy of an existing piece of software. It doesn't even have to do anything. When people point out that your product is rubbish, issue a press release blaming Microsoft for refusing to give you its proprietary code for free.
...
If you persevere for long enough, you may even convince the European Union that your product would be a world beater if only those bastards at Microsoft would give you the code to make it work properly.
