Everything you said was wrong. Those companies aren't dead. To think otherwise claims that they didn't control their destinies. That means their managements were useless. To some extent that was true, but COMS isn't dead. In fact, they're coming on strong and they will out perform ATHM. NSCP is in heaven, so you can't say they are dead and it wasn't MSFT that put them there. MSFT was lucky that NSCP chose to quit, because MSFT had great fear of NSCP because NSCP could have become a true competitor. It was their own choice. You can read all my rantings on the NSCP thread about wrong decisions made by amateurs who didn't believe in their company. The proof was to go crying to government. That's so weak, it is laughable. NSCP had the lead in LINUX development. As far as NOVL is concerned they were the quintessence of the monopolist and MSFT beat them fair and square though Wall Street repeatedly claimed MSFT had no chance. Wall Street's opinion was based on the lock the gorilla presumably has on the market. NOVL preferred their monopoly protection and the delusion that brings. What you are stating is the popular press view that persists and distorts history. You will be victimized by those distortions as you get older.

You simply don't seem to understand that competition is good for anyone now. As long as you think that it should eliminated you will live in fear and that will weaken you and make you vulnerable to the very thing you fear. This is the root of the war on wealth. Your profit is evil while mine is good. Competition is good for the other guy, but bad for me. Better get rid of these myths because they ain't doin' you no good.

You make this claim only because you are fearful that ATHM will plunge. You feel comfortable when they have a monopoly. The bigger threat is the monopoly, but I guess you are actually short term minded. That won't work because the fundamental reality of ATHM success has a long lead time.
