And you know that how?

Much more likely it is directly the result of MS contracts with the major
OEMs, past and present.  After all, that is how they defeated OS/2 in the
first place.  It certainly wasn't because Win95 was better.  It was a piece
of shit.

They stick to what works.  Threats, intimidations, knifings, and cutting
off of the air supply.  Their pitiful spineless moves against Opera on MSN
show that nothing at all has changed there.  Gates has always been a
coward.  He will die a coward.  That's never going to change.
