I just read that. Most of it sounds like capitalistic competition.

Most of it is.

The problem is ethical, not economic. EEE incorporates not just capitalistic business practices, but also deceit and/or business agreements that are ignored.

Microsoft used to be a very good company, and used to compete successfully on technical merit. Unfortunately they haven't been able to compete on merit for nearly two decades, and have instead used the clout of Windows being the default business computing platform to crush those who could beat them on merit.

Microsoft's business managers are no longer capitalists, they have become mere crude slobs, business-wise. It's very disappointing to those of us who used to think very well of Microsoft.
