And they should trust a proprietory vendor? ;-)
Microcoft has lost several lawsuits because of *lifting* other peoples work. IIRC, one in particular was Drivespace (used in dos 5/6, and Win 95/98) which was lifted from DoubleSpace.
Minor correction: Microsoft introduced DoubleSpace in DOS, stolen from the third-party Stacker software. They lost a $120M lawsuit to Stacker if I recall correctly, but managed to bankrupt the company in the process.
