Read what I said
"So, Apple's lean times were MS's fault somehow Richard?"

I didn't say that. Apple woes were Apple's doing. But your claim that
MS "stuck by" Apple is factually incorrect.

"It was good business for Microsoft to do exactly what you said."

Whilst it might have been "good business" it was illegal.

"I really don't think they would have let Apple sink anyway..."

Based on what?

"Please spare me the netscape story, or the other one..."

Ignore what doesn't suit?

"As for the few examples that are repeated on here ad nauseum, there
is a great deal of evidence that Ms had Nothing to do with the demise
of either."

What evidence. A US court statement of facts says it did. What do you
have?

This is not an attack on capitalism or free markets. It recognises that
free markets are however only an intellectual construct. The real world
deals with acknowledged market failures.

Believing something to be different doesn't make it so.
