So, i rather pay 75€ extra for a product i don't want, than 500€ extra for another product i don't want. You obviously aren't getting it; Micro$ofts monopoly is in the PC market where they sell their operating systems to hardware vendors, who sell the operating systems bundled with the hardware. Since the majority of PC:s are sold new in a store, with Windows on them, there's not much market for rest of the OS manufacturers. We could prove that M$ doesn't have a monopoly, by pointing out that anyone can write their own OS:s. Just because something is possible, it doesn't mean that something is a real option. |
How many times must I explain this to you. You were able to get that mac you wanted. Also, One can build a decent PC wiithout and OS for about $400. There are also Netbooxs with linux on them, sold in virtually all the big box retailers. So...explain to me again how MS has any sort of a Monopoly?
