"Forcing a choice between Windows or something else rather than Windows and something else was good for MS."
That was always the feel I got from Microsoft. They do what is good for Microsoft. I do not get that sort of feel using NetBSD.
What is good for Microsoft is not necessarily good for me.

This is why Microsoft was and is the devil. We must never forget Netscape, Be, constant virus attacks, and the bad old days when Internet Explorer was the dominant web browser which they allowed to rot like a garbage can full of shit. To use or develop with any Microsoft products today, or to work there or own their stock, is to agree with all of these terrible things.

More likely, given that the desktop OS monopoly was well in place when Windows (as an OS, rather than the graphical framework that rode on top of DOS as a separate product, so especially the NT lineage) was designed, and coexistence actively weakened that, coexistence was considered and considered incompatible with Microsoft’s strategic objectives. Forcing a choice between Windows or something else rather than Windows and something else was good for MS.
