Steve re <<what EXACTLY Microsoft has done that EVERY other company alive doesn't try and do.>>

Many! My last post points to some of the examples. Also most other companies are not monopolies so the analogy does not apply.

Re << This is soo frustrating...are you fscking people listening to yourselves>>

Steve, you do not seem to comprehend that there is a LAW in the US that MSFT violated! It is called Sherman Anti Trust law. It is there to protect the consumers of this great country!

What if Standard Oil was not broken up? Only one company dominated all the Oil. They sold gasoline and huge profits. Then wanted to sell engines that only run on that gasoline. Of course they would not allow any other company to compete because no one else had the secret chemical composition of that gas. So now the company sells you the gasoline and the car. It does not work very well and you may have to turn it on off every once in a while. But heck, what other choice do you have.
