Of all operating systems ... Windows is the worst. BeOS, Unix (Solaris,AIX, etc.), Linux, Mac OS are ALL much better.

Um, worst by what standards? Usability? I think it used to come in second behind the Mac, but has an edge now.

I also believe usability is the way Windows achieved marketshare, along with excellent development tools.

And the anti-trust suit says that MS gained marketshare in their other products illegally. They had to have a monopoly in a market in the first place in order to break the law.
