I'm not a fan of Microsoft, but I don't think that they, or anyone, should be disallowed to Embrace new technologies. There has to be a better approach to antitrust.

They never "destroyed" anyone who didn't have it coming.

I remember paying for Netscape 4, and I remember the pile of steaming garbage I got when I did that.

They destroyed MacBASIC --- as a person who suffered through using Microsoft BASIC for Macintosh, that's not something I'll forget.
