Dwight . . . your analogies are flawed; Pepsi and Coke have each other as well as Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, etc., as very major competitors. They take those actions against each other to secure repeat sales and brand loyalty in a fickle consumer marketplace. In the OS marketplace, it's more like just having Coke with Snapple as its only competitor. In regard to credit card companies stuffing - they GET PAID (a lot) to stuff that junk in your statement. Those practices are not evil - they are legitimate ways to move product. Microsoft is leveraging, but they have the power to abuse that leverage since there is no counter-balance in the marketplace.
