Re: "were made available for other OS"
Interesting that you got 4 downvotes on a post that is in essence fact - Redmond is strong in that one..
MS benefits from the fact that most IT people are too young to remember what MS got up to to ram its OS down everyone's throat, not limited to only offering charity to a nation if they switched to Microsoft. In my opinion it has not changed MO much since then, it just got better at manipulating the press.
