fyodor_ re: Controlling the standards would still give MS an advantage, but it wouldn't be enough for them to hold on to their monopoly. If controlling the standards would give MS advantage then MS would just drive competition out of business on that "advantage" margin. re: Take Intel? Do you really consider them a monopoly? Or don't you consider them able to control the standards? (SSE, SSE2?) yes. sse and sse2 are not industry standards - they are intel standards. Funny that you chose sse as an example since I consider it as a monopoly at it's best. Regards -Albert
