You can say whatever you want. The question is what will customers
believe? If someone quotes me a MS story, the first thing I am
going to think of is the criminal activities perpetrated by MS,
and the way that they squashed anyone who got in their way.
You might want to consider an example that isn't quite so
controversial. Perhaps Craig's List is a good example. Even
though they are very successful, well known, and in many markets,
the show is still just a handful of people.
