Obviously he reads slowly, Roger. He's still muddling through PC Magazines from 1993.

Read this one slowly Tiqueer - Microsoft does not have a monopoly OS position - there always have been other choices in the X86 operating system space and there is even more in the last few years as Solaris x86 and Linux have made their debut. The public has choosen Windows since it is the best provides the best desktop metaphor

The crux of the matter is giving away software for free that other companies are charging for. Giving away Star won't help Corel or Applix too much.

tiger, i'll say this slowly so you can hear it, okay?

do you HAVE to put Windows on your PC? Do you even have to buy a PC? Could you not buy a MAC, or God forbid, a JAVASTATION?

Now. I'll say it again even MORE slowly.

do you HAVE to put Windows on your PC? Do you even have to buy a PC? Could you not buy a MAC, or God forbid, a JAVASTATION?

now I hope that is clear. So NOW you know what a monopoly and is and isn't. That is of course if you were listening.
