      I thought Microsoft was the company that first embraced the whole “embrace, extend, extinguish” philosophy?

        Yeah but they ended up investing in apple to avoid more serious antitrust litigation from becoming a complete monopoly, and Linux ruined their chances of dominating the server maketshare.

        Google just took it and did it more discretly over a longer period of time.
