I am as skeptical as anyone about giant corporations, but this is a stretch. How and why does our society expect players to refrain from using their current position to advance to a better position?
- izacus 11y agoBecause it hurts our society if they do. It's not about expecting, it's about limiting the damage they do.
- adventured 11y agoIt does not hurt society if they're providing a superior product / value proposition for the consumer, regardless of bundling or self-promotion.
- HeyLaughingBoy 11y agoSo you plan to stay in the same job for life, turning down any better offers you get?
- blumkvist 11y agoYou should ask Bill Gates about that.
- BookmarkSaver 11y agoYou mean the guy that had the audacity to include a web browser with an operating system? Good thing we shut that sort of thinking down, no telling how much the tech industry would have been hurt if we hadn't prevented that sort of practice.
- blumkvist 11y agoAlthough Microsoft was sued for browsers and APIs, their true anti-competitive behavior lied elsewhere - pricing strategies. They will probably do it again too. I can't wait for all the surprised faces "but, but, but... windows had 3% market share".
