What software exactly have been boxed out of their operating system with incompatibilities?
- erikpukinskis 13y agoWell, I guess I meant to include both Windows and Office in that statement. Samba, WordPerfect, and Netscape are good examples. Although in the case of Netscape, they just coerced all of the OEMs not to include it.
- pjmlp 13y agoHowever, many like WordPerfect were just doing dumb business decisions that led them out of business. http://www.wordplace.com/ap/ http://www.wordplace.com/ap/ Microsoft did not have to do much with this type of competition.
- scholia 13y agoNetscape also put itself out of business by arrogance and making dumb decisions, plus some very poor programming.
- gdy 13y agoSamba hasn't been boxed out to be replaced by Microsoft own software. Do you have any kind of proof for your claim about WordPerfect and Netscape?
