I wish all GT tires worked equally well on all types of
vehicles (actually, some won't even FIT my car). And the
Ford keys should fit into Mazdas'...
MSFT does NOT monopolize computers nor desktops. There are tons of
alternatives - AAPL, SUNW, HWP, SGI, and also IBM, TDM, UIS, ...
Does it monopolize the MS-Windows market ? You bet! Just like
Ford has a kill on Mustangs and Mustang-related stuff.
Being big ain't wrong. But I don't think thats the key here since
no one hates Boeing and Phelps Dodge and DuPont and Monsanto and
Potash and MEMC and Intel and many others. So, what gives.
MOST folks I know who hate MSFT's powers are programmers themselves.
And they think Gate/Allen just got lucky. While they - the smart
ones that they are (and some indeed are) - have to toil for mere
pennyworths. Can God be SO unjust ?!? There, you have it.
And if politicians take advantage of these sentiments, well they
outta!
Would you rather support a partially open standard, or a fully
closed one ? I mean, Mac (my mom can't type fsck afraid she might
misspell it:)
