One year, Microsoft pumped $650 million into our judicial system.
That same system clearly settled that Microsoft holds monopoly
power over the desktop operating system market.
From the federal district court of the United States.
"Microsoft possesses monopoly power in the market for
Intel-compatible PC operating systems."
From the federal appeals court of the United States.
"... we uphold the District Court's finding of monopoly power in its
entirety."
There ain't no doubt about it.

So you are trying to say that you really do not understand Microsoft
holds monopoly power over the personal computer operating system
market?

No you still don't get it! Microsoft is only a so-called monopoly by
default. But that isn't true either. As there are other OS available
for the personal computer as well. But the dumb MBAs think they can
outsmart Bill Gates and they fall like match sticks.
So let's say you or I had a business and all of our competitors were
nothing but morons! And it was nothing for us to outsmart them even
in our sleep. Some would call us a monopoly, now wouldn't they? Of
course they would.
But the truth is our competitors were just too stupid to compete.
This is exactly what Microsoft have found themselves in. And it
isn't their fault that their competitors are just morons. They just
are thanks to the likes of Harvard and the Harvard want to be's.
You just don't get it. A bunch of nerds get together and they start
kicking Microsoft's butt. Somehow someone gets the idea that they
need a MBA. Now Microsoft while before shaking in their boots (GEOS
is a perfect example), comes along and wipes them clean. Why don't
you get it?
I was in the business before Bill Gates' first program. I know
exactly how he thinks and I know how to beat him is just child's
play. But I sit here for all of these years and watch how his
competitors screw up royally every time. Boy if I was greedy, I
would have made a killing long ago. grin
Someday I hope you get it. Although unfortunately I believe you are
currently not even close yet. But there is still hope. grin
