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.

Weird that this article would be posted this morning while we are talking about this. My point is that every company, even Nokia and Nokia of old or new, is only after a profit. Everything else is secondary but that also doen't mean things are black and white. I teld to view them as grey.
