Here's an outtake from the Red Herring that Dermot posted: Threatening manufacturers with loss of their Windows license--with going out of business, in other words--unless they put the Internet Explorer icon on every desktop. Requiring OEM partners to notify Microsoft in writing before lodging a complaint with any government agency regarding Microsoft's behavior. *Prohibiting ISP partners from telling consumers they have a choice in browsers. It's tempting to say, Why complain if Microsoft gives away new functionality? Fine. The company should give away as much software as it wants. But it shouldn't be allowed to force its business partners to distribute that software on pain of economic death. How do these tactics lead to innovative products? Do you think that MSFT should be allowed to do these sorts of actions?
