Back when Microsoft had 90% of the browser market share they could have pulled an Apple and locked everybody else out of the web. The only reason they didn't do that was because the antitrust regulators didn't let them. But if it had been left up to the "buying power" of consumers we would have lost one of the greatest inventions of our time to an awful greedy corporation. The iPhone probably wouldn't even exist or they would have to license IE from Microsoft.
