It is a condition that market and not Microsoft has created. Microsoft is simply taking advantage of the situation and is doing what market is asking them to do: to monopolize us!

You really expect me to believe this. The average home computer user knows squat about computers and is relying on the sales people to inform them fairly about the options out there. Did you not read my post about Netscape and Dell. Dell does not even offer Netscape and Netscape just happens to be a popular product. Dell has a gun to its head by MS. Where is the consumer getting a choice here if MS controls the programmers and the equipment manufactures. MS has these secret licensing agreement and probably verbal warning to it customers so don't think for one minute that MS does not have total control of the game. The one who controls the game is called a monopolist in my books and the consumers gets the shaft when this happens.

The DOJ is their for a purpose to protect the consumers.

The problem we have now is that MS has such a strong monopoly they control the game and we will be stuck in this rut unless the DOJ kicks some butt. Everybody that understands computers knows that OS2 is superior to Windows and the Windows UI is what Apple had years ago. Why is that we are not moving forward in the home computer area. My DOS programs ran fantastic years ago, my window programs crash all the time. I think Java has a fantastic future but MS with its monopoly will definitely hurt it and once again the consumers will not get what it wants but what MS wants to sell you.
