What Microsoft did do, was go to second, third, and fourth tier
vendors and say: "Pay us $100 for every system you sell that does
_NOT_) contain an operating system.  Pay us $200 for every system you
sell that contains the operating system of a competitor."

If a vendor failed to adhere to that, then the vendor was shut down,
and all assets went to Microsoft.

Want to explain the difference between that, and paying protection
money to the local mafioso?
