Microsoft and Apple have barely changed in all the ways they are bad though. Specifically Microsoft has just moved to a different place in the embrace expand extinguish cycle.

Microsoft will (probably) never again enjoy the hegemony it once did; so, however evilly it acts, it'll never be able to translate its evil deeds into the same impact that they once had.
