It would be a lie if Microsoft had actually obeyed the consent decree, which they didn't, haven't and have no intention of.
But since Microsoft has already been hauled into court because they violated the decree, it's less likely that it's a lie.
And since Microsoft officials have been caught sending out memos and email directing subordinates to use their licensing power to force OEM's to do things Microsoft's way, it's much less likely that it's a lie.
And since several OEM representatives have testified under oath in front of the current anti-trust court that Microsoft has indeed used it's licensing power to get OEM's to sign contracts that covered all of the PCs that the company shipped, well, that makes it the truth.
