pristine think outside the box, I wasn't talking about the console wars.

I'm talking about things like back in the day with apple, antitrust laws and so forth.

Look at it like this. MS packages Media player in every single windows. They got sued for monopolization. They pay the fine, but now most windows users don't have anything except WMP, and are unaware of anything else really... but that is brand recognition for you.

 

I get what you're saying about antitrust but for M$, thats small fry compared to what they've made from their PC monopoly.

I won't say windows media player users are unaware, more like, they're too lazy to try anything new. Anyone who has used vlc media player knows its miles ahead of WMP
