The problem is that M$ extracts maximum profit basically by ripping 
their customers off.

If M$ made a quality product and charged a lot of money for it, I 
wouldn't have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is the 
fact that they charge a fortune for very low-quality products, and get 
away with it. And they get away with it precisely because of the 
underhanded techniques they use to eliminate all competition.

This stuff should be illegal... Oh, wait. It is. And M$ has been 
convicted. Several times. And yet still they are allowed to trade with 
no sanctions at all. Great.

Apparently, if you make enough money, the law does not apply to you...
