Apple hardly has clean hands.

Ever heard of Xerox?

Excel and Word cost money and always have. Word Perfect and Lotus 123 failed to compete.

Hardly the same thing as Netscape trying to compete with free. Microsoft did kill Netscape.

Netscape had a weird business model. They wanted to make money from their server side, but it was competing against free products, like Apache and IIS.
