Great start. It's about time that Microsoft gets investigated as well.

- haunter 3y agoYou mean the Xbox? Guess you can count Sony and Nintendo too then.
- GardenLetter27 3y agoTeams bundling would be the main one. Then Xbox for not allowing alternative marketplaces like Steam. OneDrive and Office365 cross-promotion is also a bit dodgy, especially tied in to the near-mandatory Microsoft account. Apple might get sued over iCloud for the same reason soon.
- rcMgD2BwE72F 3y agoAnd Google, too. Try using an popular Android application without being forced to install Google Play Services. You can't do banking, can't get notifications, etc. Many of the most critical apps will simply refuse to launch. Google slowly turned Android into a Google service thanks to developers having to rely on Google's proprietary APIs. I work at a small independent app studio, and we just decided to required the Google Play Services in our Android apps because too few people don't have it (why try and do without then). It's like all websites only supporting Chrome and nobody complaining (except a few nerds using custom ROMs). What a shame.
