Microsoft did bad practices in the PC area where they own it. And they were forced very often to go back by anti-monopolist trials.

Apple own their products and do even worse than MS right now for their users.

They is not the dark side, but Apple do bad policies... which name may be put to Apple?

Apple and Microsoft are companies that make products and provide them for sale under certain terms.

If we're nominating companies for the Evil Awards, Irving Oil would be on top of my list - those guys could give Microsoft lessons on how to be a predatory monopoly. Sat, 27 Sep 2008 19:28:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (StephenBeDoper) Comments
