Ignorant of facts indeed!!!
It's just windoze which actually and desperately requires AV software.

Hmm, it's just soldiers in Iraq that actually and desperately require flak jackets. Does that mean that soldiers in Iraq have thinner skin than citizens in Ohio? BTW, AV software is the worst method of protecting a Windows machine since it is 100% reactive. Sorry, I prefer proactive defenses so I prefer not to rely on AV.

Microsoft is to blame for its monopoly or do you think you'd win in an argument with USDOJ?

You'll have to point out the illegality of their OEM deals as it relates to maintaining their OS monopoly. Unless you can show otherwise, Microsoft got in trouble for using their legally acquired and maintained Windows monopoly in order to acquire a browser monopoly. Your link talks about the browser wars. I think you need to review the timeline. First Microsoft achieved 90% of the desktop OS market, then they got in trouble for leveraging that monopoly to get into other markets. My discussion with Harry was around the OS, not the browser. Try to stay on topic please!
