Which is why I'll never buy a Microsoft phone or
anything
Microsoft. I don't want to reward a business that thinks that's a winning
argument, and I surely don't want Microsoft to extend its desktop monopoly
into the mobile space, because if they think it's OK to be awful to its
competitors, they'll surely keep on doing it, carefully following legal advice
on how to stay 1/8th inch inside the law (if this is inside the
law).
Agreed.
Curiously I met a Microsoft
Fanboi when I went to switch cell phone
companies (my phone is unlocked).
Shocked me silly.

Just for anyone who missed Series 1, the Word v. WordPerfect anti-competitive
activity case happened earlier.
This one was about WordPerfect as middleware that could provide an OS-like
platform in its own right and could, and did, transfer to operating systems
other than Windows.
As, I think, Bill Gates put it, Microsoft Office needed to form a moat around
the Windows 95 operating system to protect it from middleware such as
WordPerfect. If it was not Bill Gates, himself, I am just 1/8" away from
the truth.

The worst thing they have done (IMHO) is to FORCE the bundling of
Windows on users. Having got into the
position that users are FORCED to
buy Windows (whether they
want to or not), Microsoft then try and lock out the
competition (essentially Linux) by using UEFI to pr
event users
making use of competitive operating systems.
What many people forget is
that PCs are not "Windows PCs".
They are generic personal computers which
SHOULD be able to
run any operating system that you choose.
To me this
is the HEART of the problem - and Microsoft's
actions against Novell (although
despicable) fade into
cosmic insignificance against
this!
