Intresting, I seem to recall a minor anti-trust case in the US that
kinda decided that M$ used a monopoly position to kinda force OEMs to
sell M$ Windows on thier PCs or suffer a serious price difference
compared to those that do. Also, until recently, MS had pretty much
crushed the opposition, meaning there was no realistic option to Windows
for a general purpose GUI based OS on the cheap and cheerful Intel
platform. Admittably, IBM started that monopoly, that part being
overcome very quickly, but MS is the company that brought it to the
current level, breaking laws and acting immorally in the process.
