But I would argue that what Microsoft does is far truer to capitalism than what Lucas is doing. Microsoft, by making things work only in certain ways so that you need to make upgrades and buy new software is truly capitalizing on us. If Lucas were to really want to capitalize on the situation, he would release both sets and have us all buy one or the other or, preferably to him, both.
