These purchases may cost the company a lot of money if the opinion of someone else turned out to be wrong.

The consumer demands for the Mercedes group was that the PC be fast and powerful, engineering oriented, ability to link with other computers, looks good, and has service and support.

In summary, Microsoft would bundle their Internet Explorer and Windows with the PC manufacturers by making it compatible with those manufacturers only.
