My co-sysop in the '90s worked for Addstor, a disk compression product. Microsoft essentially plagiarized Stacker, made Windows not work well with Addstor's product, then came out with a free compression tool and paid chunp change to the makers of the product they plagiarized - which was no longer a viable product.

Microsoft, bastards they were back then.
