An oxymoron is two words used together that directly contradict each other
like probably defenently. Since Microsoft doesn't mean anything it can't contradict with anything hence it can not create an oxymoron

"User Friendly"
It is impossible for something to be friendly to all users! That's the reason I left Ubuntu - it was nice when I was new but just made doing moderately advanced things more difficult.

"If con is the opposite of pro, then Congress is the opposite of Progress."

Not an oxymoron, but along the same lines.
