So, your definition of Monopoly is based on the number of market share , am I right ? So, your logic is if a company had a monopoly ( based on your definition) , the company should not continue to develop new products of improve its current products , am I right ? So , your logic is if a company had monopoly ( BASED ON YOUR DEFINITION) , the company should not grow its market anymore, on the contrary , the company should telll its competitors that just come over to take my free market share , I won't compete anymore . Is it right ? That is why I did not see any Company in Canada can have any products which will dominate the world market, because it is warfare state, and it did not promote free competition. The regulation from the government is always in play !!!!!!!!!!! By the way, what is the % of market share you will count it as a monopoly ? Do you have any idea ? and why ?

By the way, Soldier, if your definition of monopoly ( based on the market share ) hold, then the US government will need to set up a upper limit of the market share that the company can have to prevent a Suit by the government about monopoly .

Now you are calling other negative posters as MSFT-haters. First it was only me, Toy, if you start a post with the premise that you don't hate Microsoft, don't expect anyone to believe anything else in your post. Your hatred of Microsoft is well known to everyone on this thread. To pretend otherwise is to insult our intelligence.
