Actually, MS sold IBM an operating system they did not have, and

Digital Research (who IBM had turned down) had been more interested
at that point, he could had easily sued and closed MS down even
during the Reagan years.
Scrounge, copy, patch, swipe, outright steal, strongarm, sue has been
the MS modus operandi since inception, and it shows.

strongarm, sue has been the lawyer modus operandi for decades.
