RE:"Perfect example. While they were able to maintain their monopoly the planetary economy contracted. When enough producers developed outside of the monopoly to break its power, economic growth returned."

Eh? When did we break this monopoly? We have a ban on offshore drilling and drilling in the arctic wildlife refuge.
Oil prices recently went from 12 to 34 dollars a barrel.
Gas is still over $2/gal in some parts of the country. Just wait for the summer driving season. OPEC is still controlling output to maximize price.
What are we missing here? Why are we picking on a domestic company and not OPEC?

I see, so Microsofts "so called" monopoly has caused a contraction in the computer industry and in the economy?
