some fair arguments here... but this is exactly the same kind of vibe most people emitted when i went to CS grad school in the early 90s. everyone was like, 'oh msft is so evil. they suck.' and i just didn't understand. in reality msft put compute in front of everyone and created an insane amount of opportunity. this sounds like a 'get off my lawn' broad attitude and maybe a better approach is to be open to some of the innovation that is getting put down here.

A big reason they "won" is that they made it impossible for OEMs to compete in the market unless they sold every machine with a Windows license. I believe your analogy is correct, but not in the way you intended.
