That California law, also known as section 17200, prohibits "any unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business act or practice." An unfair business practice is, according to California court decisions, something that "offends an established public policy or...is immoral, unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous or substantially injurious to consumers."
How about these then:
- Stac Electronics: M$ stole technology for disk compression.
- Spyglass: Stole technology for Internet Explorer. Promised Spyglass royalties, then gave it away for free so there would be no royalties
- Digital Research: Added secret code so Win 3.x would make DR-DOS appear broken. Drove DR-DOS out of the market
- Blue Mountain: Made service pack that caused Outlook and Outlook Express to send Blue Mountain electronic greeting cards to trash in November, the height of Blue Mountain's business season after Blue Mountain refused to sell to M$
- Be Inc.: Prevented OEMs from installing BeOS bootloaders on dual boot systems so that noone could boot BeOS on these systems. Ultimately drove Be out of business.
- Opera: Deliberately sent malformed html to Opera web browser to make Opera look "broken".
Talk about "immoral, unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous"! Have you
NO shame at all, Bill Gates?
