I guess this guy doesn't believe in Linux... dailynews.yahoo.com (Schmalansee is Microsoft's MIT economist. Fisher is the DOJ's MIT economist.) Fisher said Microsoft is a monopoly: "They are the only game in town." Schmalansee said the company faces "long-run competition from its installed base, pirated copies of its operating system, existing vendors of operating systems and a long list of potential entrants." Schmalansee also talked about the potential of such rivals as the little-known Linux operating system. Fisher dismissed the idea that Linux and other small-time systems might steal Microsoft's market as "a joke."
