I don't see any problem with Microsoft's actions, they are a corporation and they take these issues very seriously (as they should and are entitled to). Furthermore Microsoft has no reason or incentive to maintain good relations with the webhost or the website author and you are very fortunate that Microsoft did not choose to pursue this issue further.
Apart from the fact that the site they took down is a news site relating to their product that promotes it. It also makes recommendations and has a large user base. If they piss them off then it could have some effects on the ammount of people using WLM (especially if it happens to other people - imagine if mess.be got taken down for 11 hour over something like this).
