I could not imagine a clearer case of unfair trade practices. There are countless examples, but the best examples are where they GAVE AWAY Excel to drive Borland out of business when Borland had the superior product Jesus, we agree. My worst case was way back, in presentation software, which I used a lot. Harvard Graphics had a clearly superior product. But they gave away Powerpoint with office so it was on virtually every PC. Even now powerpoint is a POS... I can't imagine how good presentation software would be today if a half dozen companies were allowed to compete in that narrow space for the last 10 years.
