A) Linux is great...and there are plenty of apps for it, if you know where to look. Many are free, too. B) My next computer is a G3, since it is faster on Windows emulation than any Wintel box is on Windows. C)Both of these points nullify any point you make about a "MSFT market". People choose MSFT...it doesn't choose them, or force them to buy. D)IBM was already losing. The DOJ DIDN'T stop them in their tracks, contrary to what the mainstream media wants you to believe. I had a friend who stated, in 1986, that "Someday everyone will work for IBM". At that point, DEC was humming IN DIRECT COMPETITION TO IBM! In addition, all the major PC clone makers were making inroads into the IBM market...and Apple was flying high. At what point did the DOJ create these competitors and alter IBM's market position? The DOJ had NOTHING to do with any of these conditions. The market morphed around IBM, and IBM couldn't keep up. The same will happen with MSFT, and has, to some degree.
