One advice

before slapping labels on others, see if shoes fit self.

Mismanagement is what brought down Commodore, the maker of Amiga. Dig a little deeper, bud.

As for M$, you fail to realize the extend of infleunce M$ has, and not just the software industry. And yes, M$ does make a quick and easy target to set up examples for but not without justification. Another question for you. What do you think the software market would be like if M$ decides to drop all software prices in half, do you think the rest of the industry has to follow suit? Or, should I have substituted M$ with MomandPopSoftwareHut in the preceding question to avoid being labeled as extremely short-sighted?
