<Survival of the fittest" --- That's in the animal kingdom, dude.> What abstract moral planet are you living on? ( I'm still waiting for you to elaborate- though I think I already know.) "Survival of the fittest" happens to represent the cunning of human reason and the realm of human creativity, which rules the world. The public human consensus is often quite fickle and subject to change based on private selfish interest. Personally, I'm not much of a moralist, but I do observe the "Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you." In Modern terms, I could say that an action is moral if it is good for all human beings. The hard part is deciding how to apply the maxim. Ultimately, I think your right about the reality of the monopoly. So, I wouldn't want to argue that point. But my point is that the monopoly primarily came into being as a result of Gate's genius. It was in trying to maintain the monopoly where Gate's erred. I also think there is the issue of the Gov't wanting some revenues here. PS I support other Operating System's.
