Status:
I don't think it is at all funny, but it is long overdue. As an active
developer and among the pioneer (Win286) Windows adopters and developers at
a time when current wisdom held that DesqView would rule the multi-window
desktop, I have observed, applauded and criticized Microsoft at close range.
Microsoft exhibited the best of free market business in wresting the desktop
from QuarterDeck. Since doing so, they have provided developers and
consumers with the benefits of a uniform UI. However they have been
relentless in their campaign to insure that no business or developer with
which they either competed, or thought they might compete, had the free
market opportunity to do the same. The power of the UI vested Microsoft with
unbridled power ... they have done everything the government claimed and a
great deal more.
Microsoft, does charge what they want to charge - the prices of everything
else in the PC world have come down many fold while the price of Windows has
increased, albeit nominally. Microsoft, is a monopolist but no monopolist
with half a brain charges so much that they drive customers away.
The last thing I want is the Clinton luddites controlling the destiny of the
software business, but it is the job of the government to insure a truly
free market economy and the had failed miserably to provide an environment
in which Microsoft competitors could survive. I will note one more
government free market failing which will come home to roost in future years
.... mergers are in large measure being driven by lack of business pricing
power and the desire to curtail global production to more profitable levels.
Guess what is going to happen when the number of global competitors has been
significantly winnowed and global corporations deem themselves beyond the
anti-trust reach of any one government.
