Well we are talking monopoly so markets are relevent.
In an efficient market the best product wins out.
A worse product can win out only if there's some kind of market distortion
going on. One such market distortion is a monopoly. As a pro-capitalist
country, the US frowns upon market distortions which interupt market
efficiencies. I thought they taught this is schools...
Anyway, where can I buy a computer to dual boot windows and linux? Why do
linux pcs cost as much as windows pcs? Where can I buy a pc with beos in
there for free.
BTW, you deleted all this stuff which proves the monopoly and refutes you.
This is known as 'suppressed evidence.' I'll keep putting it back.
