I didn't say there is no competition right now. But I think we are headed that way. It is not desirable to live in a situation where there is no competition. And that is where we are headed if Microsoft continues to have its way. It is no secret that the company routinely arm-twists box manufacturers and passes off its application software along with the OS, thereby stifling its competitors developing similar applications in the PC world. It is in the best interests of the public if the company is broken into independent divisions -- an OS company, an applications software company and maybe, an internet software company. Dipy.
