This looks like SoftImage was cleaning up some old biz and failed then passed the bomb on to M$ to deal with, and in typical M$ fashion it was screwed up and the lucky part was the general media missed the whole thing.
Its bad but not really a sign of a monolopy abusing its power.
I have been trying to look up the story of how M$ got IE. Nothing is too clear or detailed but it looks like M$ offered a number of companies a small sum for the honour of becoming IE. Kind of like "Sell us your code cheap or die." Can anyone point to a link on this?
