However, your first paragraph touches on a very important point: Microsoft does not have a good track record in dealing with its business "partners." IBM is only the largest of all the examples of Microsoft "partners" who have felt the knife slide into their backs.
IBM is a different story. IBM was in a stronger position when the partnership with Microsoft started. A better example would be Microsoft's investment in Apple Computer about ten years ago. Xiaofeng Zhao http://www.xzing.org
