Maybe Microsoft / Intel should prohibit Blizzard from makeing a profit off of the use of their products.

Although "WoW" is a popular addon to Windows, seems that Microsoft has full control of what runs on THEIR software.
That's a great way to make the point.

We all know that Microsoft would never do this because Microsoft makes money as a result of other companies selling programs that run on Microsoft software.

If it would hurt Microsoft to stop people from selling programs that run on Windows, how can it help Blizzard to stop people from selling programs that run on WoW?
I don't make software but I don't see that as a great comparison. Windows is an operating system designed to run a computer. It's a gven that the computer needs it (or another) to run, thus other programs need to use it. WoW is a game, not an operating system. Your computer runs w/o it. The game runs w/o add-ons. It's Blizzard's game to determine what kinds of activities they want ran through their game.

I guess I can see both sides of the issue, idk if I really have an opinion about it either. I just thought it was a bad comparison.
