I mean this in the best possible way, but I don't think you're using "altruistic" correctly. Altruism is "showing a selfless concern for the well-being of others." I think you're looking for "naive," and Microsoft is some combination of cynical and manipulative.
Good point, thanks! I meant to say that they were taking an outlook that cast Microsoft's intentions as altruistic when (in my view) the intentions are more along the lines of cynical and manipulative, as you said.
