MS was once upon a time a "good guy" and a promoter of an open architecture
That's a good one given MS' deliberate error in early Windows if you tried to install it on a non MS-Dos operating system.

M$ was never good!

Right back to the earliest days of DOS, when Gates conned IBM into thinking that he had an OS, and then went on to steal source from Digital Reaserch. Even before that, he was using stolen computer time to build up the Basic business, which he stole from a dumpster. It is all well documented.

I don't think that Gates, or his abominable creation M$, have ever done an entirely honest deal with anyone.

Brought to you by lawyers, for the benefit of lawyers. Citizenry, well, too bad
for them.
