i cant believe MS still has the ability to run its monopoly. Even the Us market, wich could be considered one of the best free-market systems found anywhere(for better or for worse)doesnt seem to like it. i believed Ms was sued a few years ago.
monopoly's are a bad thing, mainly because the quality of the product could go down deu to lack of competition, in our case MS thinks they can play god, offcourse this could also mean some sort of downfall, because i doubt a lot of developers like the lack of support for there hardware/software. Then again, most people are too stupid to realize anything and then to live in there own shortminded world if you'd ask me.
