I can totally agree with this statement. I remember when they deliberately ruined the chances for Netscape by making their brower "free" in their Windows installation package.
LOL, The payback was really funny when Oracle (which absorbed Netscape if I'm not mistaken) released and supported the free public domain "Open Office" suite of products supplanting Microsoft's second most profitable line of "Office" products. I still use Open Office to this day.
