Re: People who think this is a new phenomena in IT

Microsoft definitely played very rough with their competitors in the 90s - in a not dissimilar way to IBM in the 70s and 80s. But so far nobody has suggested they sold their users out to the highest, sorry, that should read "any" bidder. Saying "never mind Facebook, look at Microsoft" is just whataboutery.
