For me, it's not so much what they did, but more how they did it. They practiced some pretty underhanded techniques to keep them on the top... If you were a little older maybe you'd remember... pretending to buy out someone, getting the source, and then somehow getting out of the deal... and what was the 123 thing they crushed... bah. It's all in the annals of history, probably even on the web. They were BRUTAL, man, brutal. Check it out, see what you find. It's not unnatural, I mean, power does that to stuff, neh? Really, tho, MS needed some slap-downs. Which they got a few of, IIRC. :-) That's the behavior I had a problem with. It's one thing to do things the "right way", and another to be underhanded.
