Most private companies, bozo, have research development and studies to
promote their companies. Get a clue.
Microsoft corp does research and products, yes he did the original
programming. He also did the marketing and he also had a monopoly. Conflict

Grow up. Most of the private medical pharm or anything related to medical
equipment is mandated by the FDA to have clinical studies done. Who's going
to do those? Somebody else?
Those studies are then published.
You have a really stupid position.
