Please tell us, Harr, how Microsoft beat Lotus 1-2-3.

"It ain't done until Lotus won't run".

Remember that famous line? MS used Windows as leverage against Lotus, WordPerfect, Netscape, etc, etc. Illegally, it is now clear.

So MS didn't "beat" Lotus legally.

MS has had to cheat, had to break the law. They've proven unable to win any other way.

I've seen this accusation spread repeatedly within the ABM community but I've never seen any verifiable evidence to back up such a claim. Care to prove it? Or is this just more FUD atop more FUD?
