But the thing is, they don't like competition. If you make something better than them, and it's free they'll do all they can to out-do you.
Uh, they're a profit-making company, you expect them to dance and idle when someone puts out a better product than they have? I cannot see that as a bad quality, really.
As for the question of whether it's evil from MS to include lots of programs in its OS (the media player, Explorer, and the likes) for "free"... I can see how it narrows down people's choices in a sense, they're not searching for other just-as-good programs made by other people, but - uh, why aren't they allowed to sell a package which includes the OS and extra software?
(That was recently in the news, I think someone was threatening to sue them - can't remember more, what was it actually about?)
