Who has bankrupted more companies?

So Engadget has another great interview with Bill Gates up, but there's this one part where Bill takes a low blow at Apple. Peter asks: "So you don't worry about Apple opening things up so an OEM like Sony could offer OS X?" And Bill replies, "Well, the last time Apple went out and licensed their operating system to people they changed their minds and they bankrupted all the people who had been involved in that, and I don't know if we'll see another round of Apple tantalizing people with that or not."

Meanwhile, back here in reality: how many technologies and business moves have Microsoft backed out of that resulted in the bankrupting of regular people? I mean, hello kettle!

It's a good interview though, so make sure you check it out.
