The "Wintel" couple(short for "Windows" and "Intel")are【C2】______seen as yesterday’s tyrants. Rumors【C3】______that a coup is brewing to oust Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s current boss.

解析
动词辨析题。由空格前的has可知,空格处应为动词的过去分词形式。上句指出,a wicked couple是贪婪的,下句中说比尔·盖茨已经退休并捐出了亿万财产,由此可以看出,the couple的形象发生了变化,故changed"变化,改变”符合句意。
