Sorry, that comparision doesn't hold.

It's more like Microsoft shipping a browser with windows and making it so that all other browsers will run poorly or not at all on windows.

What they are doing is anti-competitive.

You think the flight sim market would survive if joystick makers were in the business of securing agreements to make certain flight sims only work with their controllers?

Natural point is way out of line. If they are afraid of competition, they should be better than the competition - not by forcing licensees to dump support for other ways of tracking head movement.
