Unfortunately things in reality aren't going like that. It was hard for me to accept the idea that a company might dare to charge developers for „developing rights” (or something similar), yet Apple did that, didn't it? It seems that the (lack of) courtship and respect isn't a primary driving factor for people in such scenarios, money is. What Microsoft doesn't realize though is that their new boat isn't filled with gold (yet) to count on a gold rush.
