Ono jedna vec aj v článkuAle začnem históriouSoud potvrdil, že MS-DOS je ukradený
1. 8. 2007Soudce Thomas Zilly potvrdil, že Evans trefně označil QDOS „vykradeným“ CP/M a dal mu zapravdu, že Paterson zkopíroval aplikační rozhraní CP/M včetně prvních 36 funkcí a způsobu předávání parametrů, přestože něco z toho bylo přejmenováno (třeba to, co se v CP/M jmenovalo „Read Sequential“, se v QDOSu změnilo na „Sequential Read“, stejně tak „Read Random“ přešlo na „Random Read“).

Undocumented APIs
Last Updated: 1/11/2017Your apps should not call undocumented Windows APIs, or take dependency on specific Windows file exports or registry keys. This can lead to broken functionality, data loss and potential security issues. If there is functionality your app requires that is not available, this is an opportunity to provide feedback through your usual feedback channels and via the Windows Insider program.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibili... Zaujímavé je, že SW od Microsoftu používa nedokumentovanoé ABI a teda je ho ťažké spustiť bez chýb na inom OS, lebo aplikačný program je, de facto, len súhrnom systémových volaní a o nedokumentovaných volaní nie je známe, čo majú robiť.CP/M bol dominantný OS a bez "kompatibility" s ním by sa MS DOS nikdy nerošíril. Vďaka kompatibilite, sa veľmi jedoducho prepisoval SW pre CP/M na verziu pre MS DOS.Potom odstavenei DR DOSu od pôvodného autora CP/M Digital researchHow MS played the incompatibility card against DR-DOS
5 Nov 1999 at 14:55, Graham LeaMS on Trial One of the claims by Caldera that Microsoft wanted dismissed concerned intentional incompatibilities between Windows and DR-DOS. David Cole and Phil Barrett exchanged emails on 30 September 1991: " "It's pretty clear we need to make sure Windows 3.1 only runs on top of MS DOS or an OEM version of it," and "The approach we will take is to detect dr 6 and refuse to load. The error message should be something like 'Invalid device driver interface.'"

Navíc svůj Android sice nabízí jako open-source platformu, pro integraci aplikačního obchodu Google Play však od výrobců vyžaduje splnění podmínek. Jednou z nich je, že nesmějí prodávat zařízení s alternativní distribucí systému, což má bránit problémům s případnou fragmentaci platformy.

Investigative journalists: "Government lock-in by Microsoft is alarming"
Submitted by Adrian Offerman on April 14, 2017They conclude that the dependence on Microsoft: causes costs to rise continuously, and blocks technical progress in government organisations;
systematically undermines European procurement and competition laws;
gives Microsoft overwhelming political influence, culminating in personal interdependence as well as penetration of schools and universities; and
puts government IT systems, together with their citizens' personal information, at high risk both technologically and politically.A digital colonyIn an article in the newspaper Tagesspiegel, one of the investigative journalists addresses several severe problems: current and former Microsoft lobbyists, managers and consultants are working directly in government ministries at both technical and political levels; at all government levels, EU tender law is often broken to buy proprietary licences; and
