> However, I was a little put off by the glorification of nVidia's shady practices and lock-in policies as key to their current leading position. While technically true, I dislike "ends justify the means"-style thinking.

Personally, I have no issue with "ends justify the means"-style thinking as a blanket rule, often it's perfectly appropriate.

I would argue it is, in this case, where Nvidia was playing a game by the rules. If there is an issue with how they played, then government should change the rules.

The people in power in the US don't want that though.
