It's tough to agree with you since the tech companies of today practice profoundly more uncompetitive and monopolistic practices than Microsoft ever did.
- killing independent software providers in a very determined way
- Embrace, Extend, Extinguish
- The SCO Saga
- The Browser Wars
- Forcing manufacturers to bundle Windows with their computers
The list is long. Whether Google, Apple or Facebook are more uncompetitive and more monopolistic today has no bearing on what MS did when it did.
And yes, there is plenty wrong with Google, Apple and Facebook (and a bunch of others) but they are not the subject here. That's classic 'whataboutism'.
