How many trials did Microsoft lost? How much money did they pay to avoid loosing another trial? Why?
They killed dozens of companies. They killed the competition, they killed their own business.
Once upon a time, there was this idea of selling software. You know: people buy a computer and then buy software that do something on this computer. Microsoft distorted so much this paradigm that when a new one comes in, the Google paradigm (I read your mail and keep every detail on you so that I can better stuff you with ads, and you get the webtop software for free) a lot of people thinks : "oh yes, please deliver us from Microsoft" so that I will never have again to buy a software".
Miscrosoft has no customer: only prisoners. And they are sick of it. Or, they just don't remember the world before Microsoft.
Considering when the word processor has been invented and the size of the market, a reasonable price is somewhere around $1 and they sell Word for how much? Only because they own the market!
