To some of you who think Google will be the great OS savior, don't buy into the hype. They are a business just like M$ and they will do whatever they like in order to make a better market share. They are no different than m$ in that regard, but atleast M$ doesn't hold your search habits, web browsing history, key logs, and many other things in their server farms. In order to make a Buck, or turn over to the FBI. :D

Yep. But competition is always better than monopoly. Corporations are always going to be 'evil' (that's why the free market works so well) but a monopoly situation give you all of the downsides. Apple doesn't count: 90% share is a monopoly in my opinion. The top three monopolies I dislike are Intel, Microsoft and BT.

 

 

 BT's monopoly is weakening, Virgin are going for it at large. It's as if Virgin has come from heaven, directly attacking BSkyB and BT (which they are essentially doing with the same bit of cable).
