The classic example of  M$ threating PC makers is the Navigator/ IE
problem.  This is the single largest reason why M$ is facing DoJ
investigation.  

When Compaq (M$ largest customer) wanted to remove the MSN icon and
install Netscape.  M$ issued a formal letter threating stop supplying
Compaq with *ANY* M$ product.

This would have destroyed Compaq instantly.

M$ has *LESS THAN %5* marketshare of the total software market, yet
the market capitisation is greater that *ALL* the other listed
software companies combined.   When M$ is broken-up (3-5yrs) it will
destroy $US 150 -200 Billion.  Even with a reduction in value of that
size it still will be a $100 Billion company!!!
