microsoft has been charged so many times with unfair competition practices. ok, they have been integrating softwares in their OS and that made others to sue them for unfair competition. for me its really unfair since that would kill other software companies. they have integrated softwares like internet browser, movie maker, cd writer etc. and that would be detrimental to the survival of those companies making those products.

then came those open-source softwares. they are distributed free of charge and the most popular is the Linux and this has been competing with Windows OS in the market. isn't this open-source particularly the Linux, UNFAIR to microsoft? we have been condemning microsoft but aren't they also a victim of unfair business practices?

(note: this idea doesn't involve any legal matters, i'm not an expert on that either. )
