MS clearly sabotaged Dr. Dos. Microsoft was notorious for announcing a competitor to a product (which was vapor), then buying out the now-struggling competitor and releasing that as their new product.
Apple did the same with Sherlock (it's even a verb).
But Microsoft had a monopoly (confirmed by a long federal antitrust lawsuit), and Apple did not, so Microsoft rightly gets the blame.
- toyg 5y agoApple has an unofficial monopoly on the mobile market, one they are so keen to protect that they kick out developers who don't agree with their draconian policies - only to then grant some of their wishes to others because the restrictions are clearly monopolistic in nature (the Epic Games saga). Honestly, I'm all for throwing stones at Microsoft, but when it comes to appstores in particular Apple clearly are the most masterfully evil of them all.
