- pdonis 3y agoIt's not FUD, it's historical fact. MS did exactly what I described, repeatedly. PG even commented about it in one of his essays years ago (his comment was that you could invest a lot in developing a third party Windows application and then find out you were just doing market research for Microsoft).
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoThen please post some source for your historical facts. Plus, Apple did the exact same things.
- pdonis 3y agoHere's the pg article I referred to: https://paulgraham.com/road.html https://paulgraham.com/road.html
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoWho went bankrupt in that article?
- __loam 3y agoThis dude was so offended by your comment he replied twice lol.
- pdonis 3y ago> I explained you why it's false. No, you explained that Apple has done the same thing. That doesn't mean MS didn't do what I said or that it didn't have a huge impact on third party Windows devs.
- FirmwareBurner 3y ago> or that it didn't have a huge impact on third party Windows devs. Was the impact on Windows devs worse than Apple's impact over iOS devs?
