".. There were a lot of crappy products out on the market that Microsoft improved on.
That IS competition. Do you think McDonalds invented the hamburger? GE the TV?
Walmart the store? Apple the computer?"

the only difference of course is that Microsoft owns the hamburger outlet and while on one hand encouraging application vendors to create the "hamburger" to draw people into the store - creates its own hamburgers in collusion with the store owners. So while the "third party" hamburgers come with 4 inch buns, they just dont happen to fit in the wrappers which of course fit the homemade Buns. Now while "innovating" or hiding under the banner of innovation it manages to bankrupt the third party burger manufacturer it claims that customers preffered there hamburgers all along.

thanks for clearing it up. I'll go and have lunch now.
