Well, I don't know about now, but this Microsoft employee says some time ago an outrage worked.
From what I read in the related links they only claim to have applied pressure, they didn't cave because of that pressure though. Again it seemed to be about money.
"The only saving grace was Vista’s very painful and long development period where Palladium was eventually killed so Vista could actually ship."
We also cannot say it wasn't a factor in their decision.
Right, so outrage that they couldn't get enough money.
