Yes, but that's for content providers.

Plus, Gate's insatiable appatite for control. the 'Crush them' attitude as has been reported by internal documents, and people's experience in working for MS. I hope you won't challenge this just for the sake of argument.

I don't think Gates does anything just for control. There has to be money behind it, and a lot of it. Maybe Dragonfly will say differently, since he worked there.

you answered your own argument. To clarify it for you: Gates WILL become a content provider to get those dineros. The rest is self explanatory (unless you want me to clarify)

Yes, all other CEOs except microsoft's. I'm not aware of any that either internally or as indicated by their business practices do that. Some other companies have excellent products that just become the defact standard becuase they're good. MS on otoh, leverages its monopoly in avery way.
