I am going to try to say this simply enough so that you can understand as your name seems to fit you. (I keep thinking of the scarecrow's song... "if I only had a brain..." and wondering about the psychology of why you picked that name.) Anyway, the problem is not that a company dominates a market, but what it does with that market dominance position. To use your example, yes Michael Jordan dominates, but he does it within the rules of the game. And would you enjoy him if there were no other players on the court? The entire NBA is better with Jordan AND the other players. The competition makes him and others even better. Microsoft is not sticking to the rules. They are using their monopoly in windows to squash development of other products and companies. Do you want to go to a world without choice? And what will be Microsofts motivation if they eliminate netscape or oracle or sun or...ZIPPO! They will charge higher and higher prices to support their bloated and worthless R&D efforts providing fewer and fewer features extracting every last bit of consumer surplus. An thats not to mention Microsofts foray into content on the internet.... Mo
