In today's world, the concept of monopoly is in need of revision. In fact, there has never really been a true monopoly, unless it was sanctioned by gov't. Market forces make true monopolies nearly impossible. However, one company can gain market hegemony and therefore dominate an industry by using less than legal practices, and that is the best definition of the term monopoly today. MSFT fits that description. Paul Fussell points out that bad things have been with us forever, but BAD as a conceptual reality becomes part of life when people insist that the bad product is actually superior and preferable. I am afraid that is what MSFT has been able to foist upon the public.
