Maybe you didn't think Microsoft was playing nice, but when they were
the underdog against IBM, it obtained a similar mindshare as Apple is
now being an underdog to Microsoft.
Of course, with hindsight of all the nasty practices that Microsoft
did from the beginning it's a different story, but back then very few
people were aware of those practices.
