Sloppy thinking
A monopoly can only exist when one group can forcibly prevent others from competing with them. Microsoft can do nothing like this. Consumers are free to choose Apple or Linux instead of MS. Likewise, I read story after story about how Linux is making inroads in the data center. Seems MS can't stop this either. Quite a pathetic monopoly if you ask me.

As for the dislike of Balmer; perhaps they should get rid of him. It took them 5 years to release Vista--that proves that MS is a bloated company and that management is completely out of touch with reality.
