The smaller organization has nimbleness, hunger, and imagination on its side.

So the OEMs didn't complain.. that was my point. If MSFT were truly doing "bad things" the OEMs should have stood up to them... the OEMs did not so obviously MSFT couldn't have been too underhanded.

An "evil organization" will get what it is due - with or without federal intervention. The point here is that federal intervention is eventually going to make the situation worse - for everyone involved.

I don't need laws to know what's true and right. Laws are capricious and arbitrary. What's right is usually obvious - but then, we're living in a time and place where common sense is uncommon.

FWIW
