Re You have to replace your machine often because its manufacturer decided not to design in easy methods for consumers to upgrade components This is a McSquealy 100% match :-), not even get the basic FUNCTION. Let alone easy methods for consumers to upgrade components. Re you do realize that Linux runs on other kinds of hardware besides Intel PCs, right? Sure. A VM (or MVS)-Linux interface is not only compelling, just IREESISTIBLE :-) Re Don't underestimate the power of limiting competition through illegal exercise of monopoly power. Don't underestimate the stupidity of seeing monopoly power as a crutch for keeping mediocre businesses alive. Re . If the government had NOT launched its antitrust campaign against IBM (and yes, FOR IBM's competitors) IBM may well have more powerfully and effectively leveraged the PC's reliance on IBM's mainframes, or on IBM's sales teams.
