As an example of how MS wiped out competition unfairly it used to insist (back in the days when there was still competition) that any manufacturer who wants to package its OS (Windows or MSDOS) drop other competing OS. I doubt Microsoft's culture of suppressing competition has changed whether Bill or Balmer is in charge. Look at poor Nokia. It has to drop all other platforms and focus on WP7 although it makes sense for Nokia to be multiplatform. I shudder to think what will happen if MS gets to dominate smartphones OS. We'll probably be forced to pay for upgrades to a bloated, buggy, virus and malware infested OS every quarter.
