anticompetitive?? netscape vs ie??

Doesn't anyone here think that microsoft giving away it's hypervisor which obviously cost money to produce as free, is remarkable similar to the situation that netscape found itself in when microsoft started to give away IE???

Doesn't nobody agree that if someting cost money to develop, you should charge money for it? I know the company can decide the price, but obviously here what is happening is that microsoft is just pushing VMWare out of the business by deploying decades old tactics.

The entire article doesnt mention that fact?

I know we live in an age of free, everything is free, but people who create a free hypervisor and give it away, are lightyears apart from microsoft doing the same. VirtualBox has a free version, but it has ALWAYS had a free version and they dont make money until you start to think about support, etc, etc.

But this is obviously something we've seen before.
