If monopolies are illegal, why is the US government doing so little to control their monopolistic ways. They keep eliminating competition is so many areas of software with their control over the OS, and yet the Bush Administration has never done anything to try and control them. Why do you think that is?

Yes, its really shocking to me that this evil force has not been treated as a monopoly by the Justice department. If they're not a monopoly, then who is? The Bush Administration has sold out to the big money of this giant.

each and every version of abode windows takes the person extra and extra faraway from the middle working device. that's positive for the final person who hasn't a clue what rather occurs whilst they circulate a mouse pointer, click a button or kind on the keyboard. the disadvantage is that the extra complicated it receives the extra possibly that's that some thing has no longer been completely examined beforehand launch and issues will ensue. (Vista grew to become right into a classic occasion). Writers of Malware purpose abode windows extra effective than the different O/S no longer in basic terms because of the fact that's the main broadly used yet in addition because of the fact it is composed of the main 'holes'. maximum internet servers run Unix or a spinoff yet to get the main out of this technique you need to be extra effective than an 'standard person'. while you're no longer a working laptop or computing gadget 'nerd' save on with abode windows.

You might want to check that out. Microsoft has been sued and lost. Some of their source code has been opened up and now they can no longer bundle their software so that you actually get a choice in what to use. Thats the legal answer. The practical answer is that they have a strong foothold because people want it and buy it. Think of it as the fast food of software. We know it's not good for us but thats doesnt keep me from hitting that drive thru when it's convenient!

What OS are you running? I have had to use Linux (SUCKS RECTUM!!) before and I have used the Mac OS (not too bad) Exactly how many other companies out there want to spend the R&D money to develope a REAL OS (One people might want to use and is compatible with everything in existance today) to compete with MicroSoft? When they materialize I might give them a try.
