Alright. Do you realize what Microsoft has actually done though? Bill Gates has single-handedly brought a cimputer into everyone's home. Unlike Apple he let anyone who could build a PC use windows, drastically lowering the price of computers.

We owe the state of the world quite literally to Microsoft and Microsoft alone. They brought acomputer nto every house.

 

then again he have barred any other third party.

 there is no support for linux even its now a nicer OS.

 

Again, because of him everyone has access to a computer and internet. We're so far ahead solely because of Microsoft.

 

Actually, this credit goes to IBM for starting the opened architecture PC in the first place since it was they who started this concept then they when to Microsoft for an OS.  It really helped in competing in the hardware business because you had and now have a variety of viable hardware manufactures.  But software it's a different story with Microsoft monopolizing that market.  We'd be further ahead in software if there were more competition in software.
