Remember that comparison of cars to software? Something like cars would
get zillions of miles to the gallon if they had made the same advances as
software.

Continuing that analogy, if Microsoft made cars, the EULA would specify
that the car could be repossessed if you used non-Microsoft gasoline in
it.
