And MS better get over the past and prepare for the future.
Yes, in the past, they won the monopoloy fair and square. Well, a lot of luck of being in the right place at the right time, but they earned it fair and square.

But, they need to focus on the future and fight with the nimble competitors like Google. Google, in a very short time, starting from nothing, built a web infrastructure that is bigger, better, faster, chearper, and more reliable, with the ability to expand it faster and cheaper than Microsoft.

Microsoft had better get their arse in gear and figure how to do the same, AND, figure out how to leverage the twin monopolies any way they can (without getting into too much legal trouble). And, they better figure out how to do some really snazzy Web 2.0 applications.

The clock is ticking . . . . . .
