Moore: Microsoft was “completely fixated on Sony”

MS should go back to basics. To what made MS in the 1st place, that is to create and be creative. Instead of focussing on the competition, they should focus on themselves becoming a better industry.

trying to monopolise has already cost them millions of dollars in law suits. Looks like MS will never learn!

M$ has never been about being creative.  What made MS in the 1st place, was walking down the street and buying a crap OS (QDOS - stands for Quick & Dirty OS) and then reselling it to IBM to make a fortune:

 

The "Microsoft Disk Operating System" or MS-DOS was based on QDOS, the "Quick and Dirty Operating System" written by Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products, for their prototype Intel 8086 based computer.

...

Microsoft bought the rights to QDOS for $50,000, keeping the IBM deal a secret from Seattle Computer Products.

Gates then talked IBM into letting Microsoft retain the rights, to market MS DOS separate from the IBM PC project, Gates proceeded to make a fortune from the licensing of MS-DOS.
