<Once again, Reg, you are changing the subject of our argument. We were arguing over whether people really have a choice of OS. Now, you change it to be about whether there was any competition.>

Keith, how could you have no choice in OS if their is competition? I repetitively named several OSs I could go out and buy right now. Just for the record: Linux, Mac OS 7/8, BEos, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, etc. If I can name more than one OS, then there is a choice, right?

As for the argument about MSFT being a monopoly, they may be but they had to get thier somehow. The fact that youy say IBM was asleep at the helm meant that MSFT outmaneuverd them. Any successful company's success in the history of the world can be attributed to another company not taking advantage of successful oppurtunity first (or being asleep as you would say). Remember, hindsight is always 20/20.
