>Message #40243 from William C. Spaulding at Apr 1 2000 4:41PM Microsoft Monopoly: Here's my view. I'm not quite done with the article yet, but I'm posting now to hopefully get some feedback. money.york.pa.us Thanks.< Are you sure you are working for SUN/ORACLE? This is a bullsh*t article that can not stand today real world test: 1. Regulate Natural Monopoly: - Classic case of AT&T long distance and Airlines regulated prices. Consumer paid to the nose before deregulated price. Competition work, Government regulated do not work. 2. There are more propherous software companies now than ever before serving all kind of consumer needed. So MSFT must be provide better environment for competition and consumer. 3. US vs. Microsoft should be renamed as Steve Case, Scott McNealy, Larry Ellison and all.. vs Bill Gates to name: Who is the richest man in the world?? (they all already won who is the multi-billionaire) 4. Anyone can name 1 company being damaged by Microsoft and not by shooting itself in the foot: - Netscape: Could not get 5.0 out the door for 5 years. I don't think MSFT sabotaged it. - Novell: Really gouged IT for years w/ pricing of Netware just short of distance to the moon. - Corel: Practically gave away Corel Office but no taker because it is not very good. Consumers like MS Office and they buy it. 5. DOJ sues MSFT in the name of the consumer protection but poll indicated that 60% is favor MSFT and not the government. Only supporters for the government case are Microsoft competitors. 6. No one force to buy MSFT products. IBM and all bought MSFT products because their customer want it. IBM and load OS/2 or Linux if they want to but no one will take it. Mike
