I am sure that you are correct. The approach that Microsoft applied was nothing but capitalism as usual. The same thing took place in God knows how many different businesses prior to the existence of Microsoft, and continues to this day. We all hear constant refrains for less and less oversight of every sort when it comes to businesses even as those same people demand that the general populous be subjected to ever more scrutiny and policing. This means that corporations, with help from authorities, can continue to get away with their shenanigans, and if the peasants eventually try to grab their pitchforks and assault the walls of injustice, they can be severely dealt with. The corporate bosses will be amusedly viewing all of this on TVs and tablet computers in their Swiss chalets while barking orders to their security people over their satellite phones.
