Et un article de Reuters:

Et des passages délicieux sur un mémo qui s'est (encore) échappé:

(..)
"There is a huge switching cost to using a different operating system," he 
wrote Gates.
"It is this switching cost that has given customers the patience to stick with 
Windows through all our mistakes, our buggy drivers, our high TCO, our lack of a 
sexy version at times...
"It would be so much work to move over that they hope we just improve Windows rather 
than force them to move," he said.
The Commission says the barriers to the entry of rivals to which the memo 
refers place special obligations on Microsoft.
