It's possible. MS used to give away Word on new PCs, at least, until they'd destroyed Wordperfect, Wordstar and Ami.

Microsoft will definitely lowball to force a competitor out of a market.

I don't think this will work with Google, as their pockets are as deep as MS, and they have the ability to throw money at losing propositions, just like MS.

Yes, I know how MS works. But they would “choose” to lower the price (unlikely for the Win 7 release because it would take we several years for Android to be a threat)...what I was laughing at was “may force”.
