One might also go so far as to say that Microsoft's open license with IBM allowed cloners to get into the market, forcing IBM to compete, and lowering the prices on hardware.  And once the prices were lowered enough to get new users into the market, prices dropped even further.  All personal computing hardware is ridiculously cheap now, much cheaper than it should be.  In fact, the majority of companies barely even take a profit on consumer hardware - they make their money back on servers and workstations.  For that, I guess we have Microsoft to thank.

They only did it for their own profit though ... I don't think it should count ... after all ... all hardware is "designed for Microsoft Window$ XP", at least that's what it says on the fucking box ... same goes for computers (with a few exceptions)
