Any source for that? I couldn't find any direct evidence for your claim.

Thanks, that's interesting, I didn't know that. On the one hand, I shouldn't be surprised since vendor lock-in is the standard way tech companies try to gain corporate advantage. On the other hand, it's kind of depressing to learn once again that customers count very little and no matter what these companies say, they will always try to abuse us in every way the law allows.
