Microsoft's entire corporate history is based on screwing over everyone they've ever been in contact with. I fully expect to see Nokia testifying in a lawsuit some years from now about all the dirty tricks Microsoft pulled on them.

As far as Apple, they haven't changed since the early 1980's. Their need to keep a closed platform doomed them in the home PC market after they seemed to be the leader, and will probably doom them in the smartphone market too.
