How many things (FTP, Apache, DB2, etc) are not bundled
with OS/400? There is nothing wrong with bundling per se.
What is wrong (both in Microsoft's and IBM's case) is that

competing product is not generally available, that is: the
product uses APIs or knowledge about the OS internals
that is not generally available.
