Oh...DD, how did Microsoft maintain their monopoly?<br /><br />Oh, wait; they didn't. I have two machines running Ubuntu and it's nice to see MS running third in the smart phone market.<br /><br />I hate MS as much as anyone, but they maintained their lead by innovation and marketing. Nothing wrong with that.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574355302581451838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-15328112758507982362010-06-29T08:16:07.489-04:002010-06-29T08:16:07.489-04:00I would say that Microsoft clearly had a monopoly ...I would say that Microsoft clearly had a monopoly in the OS industry, in the era in which they were dictating to Dell, Gateway, etc. that the "Windows licensing" fee was owed per computer sold, whether that computer included Windows or not.<br /><br />Technological change has somewhat broken that monopoly, but for a while there it's hard to argue that Microsoft was anything but.Dirty Daveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908818235405186822noreply@blogger.com
