When IBM launched its personal computer, it could easily have bundled it together with its own operating software, and in this way maintained its dominance.

This top level governance architecture is analogous to a computer s operating system, which orchestrates the other software and hardware components to form a holistic unity.

The issue central to the case was whether Microsoft was allowed to bundle its flagship Internet Explorer (IE) web browser software with its Microsoft Windows operating system.

The major advantage of Explorer was not so much a technical one, but rather that Microsoft s Windows provided the operating software for the overwhelming majority of personal computers.

Unlike general purpose computers, appliances are generally not designed to allow the customers to change the software (including the underlying operating system), or to flexibly reconfigure the hardware.

These typically involve system tuning, changing operating system or device parameters, or even refactoring the application software to resolve poor performance due to poor design or bad coding practices.

On the other hand, if some software developers decided to release their software for free, yet they do not respect the Free Software essential freedoms, then their software cannot be called Free Software.

Indeed, software maintenance is one of the most common uses of remote desktop software.

Why buy a Windows machine when all your colleagues will own Macintoshes and can help you on them but not Windows, and when all the independent software developers will be programming for the Mac s new Leopard operating system?
