Yeah, the notion that Microsoft is now the safe, cuddly tech company is mindblowing. They fucked so, so many people over:
Spyglass, which licensed its browser to Microsoft in return for a percentage
of each sale; Microsoft turned the browser into Internet Explorer and bundled
it with Windows, giving it away to gain market share but effectively
destroying any chance of Spyglass making money from the deal they had signed
with Microsoft; Spyglass sued for deception and won a $8 million settlement.
