Joe,
You think it's funny that the government is stepping in and forcing it's
will into the free market?????? I think it's scary!!
Windows may not be the best OS around, but MSFT has certainly kept it
affordable. A true monopoly could charge whatever they want because of
inelastic demand.
Question: Where would we be as a networked society, if in 1980 AAPL has
opened up there OS? Would AAPL be the one under persecution/prosecution?
What if MSFT hadn't controlled the OS market and there were 5 or more OS in
the beginning each with equal market share of pc's OS? A simple unified OS
brought about the proliferation of the PC onto almost everyone's desktop.
I beleive without MSFT's dominance we would be years behind where we are
now. Bill Gates "ruthless greed" should be applauded not punished but if it
is to be punished it should be by the free markets, not Janet Reno's
hinchman.
Just my thoughts,
Howard
