I hear this every time I reply to someone who says there is no competition. Either there is
competition or there isn't. What I think most mean is that there are no other competitive OSs.
That is a function of MGMT's execution and not Anti-trust laws.

Wrong. Yes, there is competition, with OSes that can meet or beat MSFT, but the problem is none of them can even hope of having the marketshare that MSFT does, regardless of how smart or hardworking the people work. We've already discussed the various reasons why.

Another example is the corporate workstation market. McNealy complains about MSFT's
dominance, but he is the dominant player in this market. He is simply refusing to cave in to
market demand and provide them what they want - lower prices and mroe productivity apps.

Wrong. Have you seen the new Darwin line of computers? Also, workstation users can get productivity apps for workstations. For example, they can get WordPerfect.
