<That every market needs a monopoly otherwise it won't work properly. Like, one kind of car, one kind of TV, one kind of everything. That would surely give deviation=0 from the expected return. It would also flatten any dynamics in the system and be a very, very boring world.> That is how the world works. From IBM to INTC to ORCL to SUNW to MSFT, every body wnats a marekt leader. Market leaders are strongly suported by the market for the stability that they preserve. If Wintel is so bad and competition is so stifled, shy is wintel growing so much more than all of the other computer sectors? Believe it or not, it is not the voodoo embedded in the evil empire. This is the way the world works and the proof is in the pudding. What the DOJ failed to realized is that what the market giveth, the market taketh away. That is what happened to IBM, Wordperfect, AAPL, Borland, Ashton Tate, etc. Bill Gates stated 10 years ago that he wanted to be the first dominant company to successfully traverse two paradigm shifts. Back then he was told it was impossible, just two years ago in the midst of the 2nd major paradigm it was prophesized that MSFT was doomed. Now you want to break him up for being too successful. Interesting.
