You should read Barksdale's. Starting at about page 80 it really gets
good.
"166. The OEM incident that most unsettled me involved Compaq. We
had had a very good working relationship with Compaq. In fact,
one of Compaq's Vice Presidents, Ronnie Ward, spoke in very
complimentary terms about Netscape, the Internet, an dJava at one
of our developers' conferences. (Interestingly, Mr. Ward later
told one of our salespeople that because he had referred to Java
during his presentation as "letting the world out of jail,"
Microsoft had questioned his and Compaq's loyalty to Microsoft
and this had upset certain senior managers at Compaq.) In ad-
dition, Compaq had agreed to distribute the Netscape navigato
on its poplular Presario line, and Compaq personnel were en-
thusiastic about putting an icon for the Netscape Navigator on
the Presario desktop. At one meeting, a group from Compaq showed
some of our employees a preliminary build of the Presario pro-
duct, happily pointing out the icon for the Netscape Navigator
was on the desktop. However, when the final build of the
Presario product shipped in 1995, we found to our amazement and
dismay that the icon for the Netscape Navigator was not on the
desktop. We learned from a Compaq product manager that Microsoft
had not wanted Compaq to put the Navigator icon on the desktop,
even alonside the Internet Explorer icon. We also learned that
that Microsoft had threatened to terminate Compaq's Windows
license. This would hav put Compaq -- the largest PC OEM in
the world -- out of business. This demonstrates Microsoft's un-
precedented power. The effect of this pressure from Microsoft
was to destroy the value of our contract with Compaq."
It goes on and on and on and on.
