I see by some googling (as you probably know by now, IANAL) that you
are correct as for the definition of, "criminal,' in our courts here in
the US.  

OK, Microsoft has done some illegal things that are misdemeanors, not
crimes if crimes are held to only be equal to felonies.
  
I find I must amend my position to, "Microsoft is a lying, thieving,
corrupt, sneaky and uncaring company that hasn't /yet/ been caught in
any criminal activity."  

...Unless software piracy counts, I don't know...

That also works well enough for me.
