In a previous article, CriticalMass said:
By what means did MS achieve "its monopoly"? Maybe, by making software
everyone chose to use? H'mmmm. Maybe, we're on to something here.


Or maybe by going to every major computer maker in the world and telling
them "If you sell even ONE computer without Windows on it, we're going to
quintuple the price you pay on the ones that do have Windows on it". And
thus, they went from having a large market share to gaining a monopoly by
illegal means.

You don't believe me, read the transcripts from the anti-trust trial.

one never ceases to be baffled by the minuscule number whose shape even
vaguely resembles a circle. -- [unknown]
