Nader opens campaign against MS news.com WASHINGTON--Microsoft's (MSFT)plans to integrate its Internet Explorer Web browser into its Windows operating system are typical of the company's "dirty tricks" designed to dominate the personal computer market, said attorney and longtime Microsoft foe Gary Reback at the opening of a conference hosted today by consumer advocate Ralph Nader. --- The only two reason MS didn't show up is because they have no defence for the truth and these people are much smarter than the average person who likes rebooting windows.

<Regimond-how can you say there is competition now?Only Sun is left exclusively selling a competing operating system.Apple and SGI have opted to become Microsoft distributors.IBM already is.Cut the nonsense of spouting off about applications.> SGI adn Apple are events of the last few months. The mere fact that they opted to drop thier own systems means that there was competition - they just lost the against thier competition. You and a lot of other MSFT haters confuse terms victory with monopoly. All of the technology market participants had a choice between Sun, SGI, Mac and Wintel. The market chose Wintel due to superior price performance ratios and depth of application selection. The fact that Wintel offered these advantages does not negate the fact the consumer did not, and still does not, have a choice.
