MS had predatory business practices in the past, has such practices now and will have them in the future

I think you're a little out of touch or maybe just choosing to look the other way.

I've said MS is interested in controlling the way HD content is shared and downloaded. This was true of web content. It was true of multimedia content. It stifled innovation and created problems for customers.

If you do not believe MS is interested in controlling the way HD content is shared and downloaded (which you've never come right out and said, but instead chose to make personal attacks), you have not said why you believe this. Why else would MS be making multilane inroads into gaming and movie studios? You can ignore the question and make more personal attacks but it will not help your case.

As for Sony, OF COURSE it is pushing a format that SONY DEVELOPED at great expense to the company, and OF COURSE they hope to capitalize on it. As an electronics company that is its major business objective. MS is not an A/V company and has no interest in delivering quality A/V content or product to customers.

So why are you rushing to defend Microsoft?
