,----[ Snippet ]
| Microsoft's new strategy, like many tech companies looking to break into
| a new market, is to offer new features you can't get anywhere else. But,
| as Microsoft itself proved over the years, features alone don't win
| technology wars.
|
| Having dominated the PC market with its Windows monopoly, Microsoft
| should know that cracking into a closed ecosystem is often a quixotic
| affair. Charging at a competitor whose products not only dominate but
| set the standard in quality is suicidal.
