It took the markplace a while to realize that MS was not as 'nice' as they had originally established themselves. It was the front line industry which had to deal with their nasty tactics long before it was well known by the average consumer.

This is not the first time, a great little company makes it big and becomes something else (less desireable) - but, it may be the first major SE to do so.
