“LAST YEAR we looked back at several stories that
relate to Borland and what Microsoft did to this company [1, 2].
Microsoft offered obscene amounts of money for key staff of Borland
to abandon and subsequently pass control over development tools to
Microsoft. It’s a vicious long-term investment whose key strategy
is destruction of competition, which in turn enables price-fixing.“Borland suffered from some other Microsoft abuses, which we
shall properly revisit and cover in the future.”
