If the government insists that Microsoft has a monopoly in OS, then it is the consumers who should be blamed. The consumers tend to be more loyal to software than hardware. If no one told me that my PC is now powered by an AMD K6 CPU,
I will never know . But for OS, If my PC is loaded with OSs other than window, I will feel the inconvenience immediately, because window is the only OS I am
familar with and has no intention to switch to other OSs in the near future as long as
the performance / price is reasonable and affordable to me. Think about that , when I was in school, I used window OS, when I work , I used window, I am very good and feel comfortable at window , can anyone give me a single reason that I should switch to other OSs which I am not familar with and will take me a lot of time to learn ?
I never heard of Linux or solaries till I saw the names on this thread, but I still do not know what they are , and never think of try these OSs at all, since I am very comfortable with my window OS. By natural, when I buy my next new PC, I will
still choose window as my OS, because I have used this OS for a long time and am
pretty comfortable with it. If any hardware vendors do not offer PCs with window
OS, then I will buy my new PC from the other vendors who offer PCs with window.
The Hardware vendors , like CPQ, HWP, DELL ..all know that , so they all load their
hardwares with window OS. So , who to blame ? THE CONSUMERS SHOULD BE BLAMED. The DOJ seemed to not understand this , and it is trying over and over again to hurt the consumers and help Microsoft's competitors. |
