I don't see where MS has the monopoly. Can't remember that they force anyone to use their stuff (unlike Intel that enforced it to PC makers for several years now). The just offer the bester "DAU OS" with the most accessable DAU software.
Just make 80% of the people less stupid and other apps might have a chance as well.
I'm still waiting for the gov attack on Adobe and Autodesk. They have monopols as well after Adobe ate Macromedia and Autodesk ate the Maya makers ...
Oh and why wasn't apple sued? They had more than only a de facto monopol on PPC systems but were never touched.
Nor are they touched for the fact that their OS installes more stuff together with the OS than Windows ever could bundle on the XP disk ... (I say XP because Vista Ultimate tops OSX when it comes to unneeded stuff noone really needs per default ;-) ). How about the iPod updater that forces you to download the newest iTunes? Or Quicktime that is only downloadable as oversized bundle with crapTunes as well?
