InfoAnarchy has an interesting story about Microsoft’s shady OEM practices. Everyone who believes in competition on the OS market should read it. The article is an extension of Scot Hacker’s “He who controls the boot loader” article, published 2 months ago and had put lot of people into deep thinking regarding Microsoft’s business practices.

Microsoft’s behaviour obviously continues to border on the criminal. In the early 90’s they forced vendors to preload their lousy DOS/Win 3.x combo by more or less the same tactics. I am appalled that Bill Gates has not gone to jail! His behaviour is truly criminal – just like AlCapone’s was in the 1920’s and 30’s in Chicago.
Hey…. “Chicago” was the dvelopment code name for the Windows 95 codebase! Coincidence?
