I concur MS has always been at the helm of strangling the competition.. but instead of blaming them for it, I'd like to blame the governments of NA/EU and asia.. the fines they levy on MS.. are peanuts. wer talking bout a company that can lose over$4 billion on a product( the x box brand) and still continue to sell it, for years.. any fine less than a couple of billion is a joke for MS...

I still support the "lets split up MS into 2-3 entities"theory.. it makes a lot of sense.

Apple in my opinion is a lil worse, they contro lthe hardware and the software for their products. I cannot imagine how they would be if they had as much power as MS did.

 

I agree with pretty much everything stated. I always used to tell my Ex back when she still worked for Apple that they would be vastly more iron fisted with the competition if they ever dominated the market. Also, arguing that this would be a bad thing would be near impossible. Look how many people defend microsoft as the great innovator now. Imagine what the backlash would be if the company actually produced decent (if overpriced) products.

Really? All your philosphical name dropping and econ-technic language and you reveal yourself to be an Apple fanboy? Dissapointing. I always hope for intelligent opposition. Oh well, I guess I'll keep looking around.

EDIT: I would love for you to specifically define what a "scam" is in your previous post. You inject so much morality and prejudice into your posts, it's hard to tell what you mean pejoratively and what you are actually saying.
