I'm not doubting, but can you give a few examples of Microsoft trouncing others?

I do recall Disney (a main reason copyright laws last so long, and who didn't want Steamboat Willie to enter public domain).

I also think of Amazon (which the creator of the Elm programming language describes as having "the Jeff problem" because they steal smaller people's/team's ideas), although that's a different problem.

I can't say anything comes to mind right now about MS, though, which is most likely a failure of my memory/knowledge. So I'd appreciate some examples.

Did you miss one of the largest antitrust cases in history, litigated for a decade?

> ... they steal from others and trounce others for stealing from them.

Explain how the antitrust case or its conclusion proves the quote above?

Mozilla/Netscape had a browser that could have competed with Microsoft, they didn't litigate them for stealing. The antitrust case was about it being effectively impossible to overthrow their monopoly because of the platform being locked down.

The current crop of litigation against Apple reeks more of the Microsoft antitrust case than any Disney cases.

Sad to see this extremely historically accurate and relevant comment downvoted.

And on the forum which should most know it to be true!
