Comment Microsoft is not the "monopoly" it once was (Score 0, Flamebait) 561

Microsoft did have a hold on the computing world for quite some time and still do to some extent, but it's not a monopoly. The resurgence of Apple has made a dent, if even a small one, in Billy's power. I don't see them fading off anytime soon. Sure I buy PC's right now for the office, but my next home computer will probably be a Mac. Linux is basically the new kid on the block, but with so many places out there pimping for them, it has to cause a ripple some time. Maybe I'm just naive, but I just don't see the anti-trust case as it stands right now being able to hold up. I will place my hope in the free-market can take down Microsoft the same way it built the complany.
