Kodak v. Microsoft
Kodak v. Microsoft (ZDNet)
As I understand it, Kodak's attempts to steer customers to Kodak is being thwarted by Microsoft's attempts to steer customers to tithing film companies.
While I don't like the business practice regardless of who is doing it, Kodak or Microsoft, it is clear that Kodak is not "abusing its market share". You likely bought a Kodak camera, and you had a choice. Besides, it is just pointing you back to Kodak's site. You can uninstall the Kodak software the the Kodak camera works fine with the MS software and probably with Adobe and several others. MS made sure the camera was compatible, part of the embrace and extend strategy.
MS is abusing its market share by demanding that Kodak pay to be listed.
