I understand the first part but the second part doesn't make much sense to me. I understand that competition can be a bad thing sometimes but when companies are competing for that advantage percentage over their competitor, it usually leads to better products being released. I really don't see Microsoft dipping below 85 percent in the next 10 years but at the same time, I think it would be good to have competition and choice of which OS to have. Most places around here don't even sell Macs. My store will get them once every year or so and that's about it. |
Competition is good until a certain point, however, if you have multiple parties in the 20-30% range of marketshare, none of them are going to have huge amounts of money, and they'll have to be spending more money on marketing, cutting prices, etc, basically, they'll have less money to spend on development.
