Of course there is: provide a stable interface for drivers and cooperate 
with instead of subverting the vendors that try to improve your product.

Industry can only rape users if there is no competition.  Users choose 
what they buy.  The way to help them is to increase the available choices.

No, it means that you aren't addressing the real issue at all.  The real 
problem is that Microsoft has no competition, and by working to ensure 
that Linux distributions cannot contain everything they need to be a 
competitor, you are helping them maintain their monopoly status and 
their ability to rape users.
