The point is your word on whether or not Microsoft has done anything wrong is a bit suspect, isn't it, Reggie? This "natural monopoly" thing sure is being bandied about a lot. Seems a bit dubious to me, the usual attempt to turn network externalities on its head. Of course, if Microsoft wants to argue that it is a "natural monopoly", that would seem to imply an admission that it is, indeed, a monopoly. Sort of a tricky argument to make, eh? If you want to argue Chicago School "benefit to consumers" Libertarian theory, that's fine, Gerald will back you up these days. Me, I just want to know when this "natural monopoly" will see fit to give us an OS that sucks less.

Cheers, Dan.
