[You forgot the OS competitors that are lose or are abandoned by the PC OEMs simply because they dont have the monopoly to force the OEMs to implement their alternative.] MSFT is one of the very few OS makers that doesn't have COMPLETE control of the hardware it's systems run on. There IS no OEM market for Solaris or Mac. If I want to offer an alternative to the AAPL or SUNW versions of that hardware, I'm "abandoned" before I start. Should the government look into that? No, then why should the PC market get different treatment than the Solaris or Mac markets?
