Vapourware is one of Bill Gates' best standbys when it comes to clobbering the opposition without spending a cent. When a software firm announces that it is going to develop a product, say a new spreadsheet, Mrs Gates' little boy Billy announces that MS is also going to produce a similar product, and that it will be released sooner, and that it will be more closely aligned to M$ Windoze. Then it never gets developed, but has effectively killed the product announced by the original firm stone dead.

This is known in the trade as "pre-emptive vapour strike".
