Microsoft also is engaged in a number of other practices that other software developers believe are predatory. These include the bundling of weak products with essential products, preannouncements of nonexistent products to discourage consumer purchases of rival goods (sometimes referred to as "vaporware"), raids on key company staff, and predatory pricing of products to deprive rivals of revenue. Microsoft's power and its reputation for ruthless anticompetitive actions have demoralized key sectors of the software industry.
