Yep. The history of Microsoft’s rise is littered with the bodies of those who innovated and got bought out or bankrupted by him. Names like WordPerfect Corp. and Great Plains Accounting software, just to name two.

A large percentage of all malware damage and anti-virus spending can be attributed directly to IE integration done specifically to screw over Netscape. That’s another one I can identify in the extremely large pile of bodies left in MS’ wake.
