By your user id, I see that you do not live in the United States. Here in the U.S. there are regulations about what you can, and cannot do to vendors of your products. Microsoft has agreed here to quit do some things that others complained were restraint of trade, and unfair. However, they did not (to my knowledge) agree to changes in their policy overseas. (our term for all of you living "over there") Microsoft business practices, in your country, are bound by the laws of your country. Thus if, the laws of your country, (even though it is a democracy), allow such practices, then there is not much to be done. I would suggest that you take this matter up with your government. While we as individuals could boycott Microsoft products, as Amiga owners we are pretty much in that position as far as our Amiga software goes anyway, since there are no Microsoft products for the Amiga.
