Check the recent history of computing. They willingly botched many good standardization efforts and devalued many by throwing their industry weight around - all in the name of self-interest.

And oh, their software sucks. Sometimes it's kinda bizarre even how much their software sucks, bad engineering abound.

Have you tried updating Windows 7 recently?

They took over the world of computers and made people believe that computers suck and are boring, which they do when they run Windows.

They brainwashed so many corporations and governments to use their stupid solutions for every problem and plague tech people with incredible headache in the process.

It's even worse in the "developing" world, where every single comapny is like: "Oracle! Microsoft! Oracle! Microsoft!". You will never know till you experience it.
