Comment Sony may make a Microsoft lover out of you (Score 1) 287

The Japanese government using laws and funds supports the Sony Corporation. This is a reasonable and legal function for a government to perform. In contrast the US government attacks Microsoft with lawsuits for being a extremely competitive and rich company. They say Microsoft controls too much of a ****et sector. It's true, Microsoft does control a large part of it's ****et segment. But Microsoft is nothing compared to Sony. Sony is a monopoly that controls a large part of several ****et segments both vertically and horizontally. For example Sony controls or has a major presents in all of the following.: Desktop and portable PC's, PDAs, small software apps, home phones, cell phones, TVs, Camcorders, Mini disks, home stereos, car stereos, walkmans, video games, A major motion picture company, Music Labels, and lastly drive units; Video, DVD, VCD, CD-CDR, floppy, USB storage keys. Guess who makes 90% of all flat screen tv's in the world? Guess who makes the camcorders for the majority of the other major brand names in the ****et. Guess who created an absolute monopoly with mini-disks? Guess who is spending millions on software development? Guess who is likely to get an even more overpriced Sony OS to go with their over priced Sony TV in the future? Well, it may be all of us. If so, we will all be wishing for the good old days of Microsoft rule. Why do Americans and their government always attack those Americans and American Companies who are successful?
