MS never had any monopoly
A dominant market share is not a monopoly. Describing the more efficient business practices of Microsoft as a monopoly is a mistake. Microsoft's only failure was its failure to grease the right palms in Washington. The company has never been anti-competitive, nor has it ever hurt consumers. In every market MS enters, prices drop across the board. This is good business and good for America. Those who don't like it should simply sell a better mousetrap at a lower cost. That's the beauty of a free market.
