- kalefranz 9y agoWasn't this exactly one of the items Microsoft got in trouble for with the European antitrust authorities?

- digi_owl 9y agoNot just the EU regulators. The US antitrust lawsuit was also about using their desktop OS marketshare, and the bundling of IE with said OS, to drive companies towards using IIS at the server end. Damn it, Microsoft basically coined the expression "Embrace, Extended, Extinguish". Meaning that they embrace some standard, then extend it with MS specific behavior, then extinguish the original standard via creeping incompatibilities.
