Rubbish. Microsoft is on top because Bill Gates was a trust fund baby,

ON a mailing list filled with silly exaggerations, this is, I think, the
single most ridiculous remark I have ever read.
I understand that Microsoft /has/ used those methods. Though I've never
heard of the website one (I can't see how that one would work). But for
example, threatening to not advertise on magazines that had reviews of
Netscape (cutting off a significant source of revenue) or threatening
not to sell Windows to suppliers that sold competting OS's for the PC
platform. These are anti-trust violations, and they were found guilty.
Cheers,
Daniel.
