- reitzensteinm 19y agoExcellent story - well worth the read. "We wanted to release a Windows version as part of Windows 98, but sadly, Microsoft has effective building security." Now that would be funny if it came up in the anti trust lawsuit: "You developed this competitor to a popular application and released it for free. Do you deny that this is anticompetitive?" "Actually, we didn't develop that application, we didn't fund it, I have no idea where it came from - it just appeared on the CD we shipped Windows on." "It just... 'appeared'?" "Yes" "May I remind you that you're under oath?"
