Good for them,if someone can come up with a better solution do it,unti
that happens one has to agree microsoft has great software.And once yo
pay the small amount for xp,microsoft gives the user quite a range of areas on
can build up thier own self knowlege and add toward current software w/o costs
Show me where ford,or GM has ever given anything away free of charge...

Private monopolies (such as Micros~1) are good. The archetype monopoly,
Standard Oil, drove down the cost of kerosene from $3.00/gal to about 5
cents in less than three years! This opened up lighting to the world (at the
cost of crushing the whale oil business).

In the case of Micros~1, they have a HUGE competitor: themselves. Their
product is a non-consumable and, as such, Micros~1 must continually create a
better product or their revenue stream stops.

Public monopolies are the bad ones.
