Capitalism?
"The value of anything is only what someone is willing to pay."
I think you don't understand capitalism. What you've quoted is a basic tenet of commodities. Capitalism involves the ownership of assets which are used to make a profit. It's a process. How well that process is working or will work determines the value of the asset. Microsoft disagrees with you. They offered more than anyone else was willing to pay.
