The one where MS has created tons of jobs and billions of dollars for people. Do you disagree with this? I would love to hear if you did. Do big companies eat up and destroy small companies? Well Duh! It's called capitalism. But what would it be like if there was more competition? I can't show you what the industry would be like if they weren't allowed to plow businesses under by giving away free products. This is just like what Standard Oil did 120 years ago What would the world be like if John D Rockafeller didn't talk Henry Ford out of switching fuels from hemp oil? How much less polluted would the world be? How much further technically would we be if it wasn't for the MS monopoly? If you can't learn from history, I can't help you. You are a lost soul blindly repeating the mistakes of the past. Microsoft's 3D is turning out to be an excellent offering, and is being incorporated into many games and other software products. There's little confusion about conflicting "standards." A standard owned by a company is never good. If you don't understand this, there is no point in argueing with you. What are the advances in graphics are we missing? Bogged down by bloatware. Which product does MS give away for that purpose again? Yeah, I already read the article. I hope you are being funny. Mr. B
