How so? What's the problem between a willing buyer and a willing seller?


The result of this corrupt bull**** is the world is stuck with the
worlds worst operating system, whilst the dumb ass users think they
are getting one virus after another, the truth is its the operating
system.


The world is not "stuck" with Microsoft. There are many others: about 50
flavors of Linux, Unix itself, Macs, BSD, and one announced just this week
from Google. If people WANTED a different operating system, they can, most
often, get it for free! As it is, people are voting with their wallets and
the vote is 90% for Microsoft.


Capitalism only works well when competition thrives, and Microsoft is
a prime example of what happens when a corrupt, inept government
allows competition to wither on the vine.


You don't understand. Microsoft's biggest competitor is itself !

An operating system is not a consumable. If Microsoft did not come up with a
new OS every few years, with desirable features that people would pay for,
it's revenue stream would wither. Last I heard, they're still making money.
