IBM was accused of requiring its customers of buying its punch
cards -- which were the way of entering data into a computer a
generation ago. Monsanto requires people who purchase its seeds
to use its herbicide, Roundup, which we discussed last week. Why
is that not a tie-in? Maybe because the

I thought Bill Lear's question yesterday was very interesting. Given his
background, I'm surprised he did not relate his question to software. For
example, Microsoft makes it difficult to run its programs on Linux.

The technical name for it is fraud. The problem with using the technical name,
