You stand your ground. Microsoft can't do that because MS-DOS was so
inadequate that there was no alternative to breaking the rules, but
Commodore regularly breaks badly-behaved software with new releases of
the Amiga O/S with only the mildest of whimpers. And Microsoft has less
need to kowtow to developers than Commodore, seeing as it has so many
more of them.
