If that is the real reason, then it cannot be a result of anything
that Microsoft has done.
All Microsoft had to do was sell Windows and allow pirates to steal
it.
ROTFLOL
Now that Microsoft Windows is an entrenched monopoly, Microsoft
is putting the screws down.
You've contradicted yourself.
Where?
The problem is that the operating system maker can kill off
applications makers. So it should be prevented from making
applications, or the end result will be no choice of applications
either.
The operating system maker cannot kill off anyone, or would it
want to. The greater the number of applications that run under
its OS, the better.
Unless Microsoft is making all the money.
