"I honestly believe that you don't have a firm understanding of what a monopoly is, nor how they are expressed in the market. A large market share does not automatically make a monopoly."
I love this kind of argument - the straw man argument - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man. "You don't know what you're talking about. A doesn't automatically follow from B" - usually following a comment where nothing was said about inferring A from B. I only asserted that monopoly destroys competition, which I'm sure you can agree with, and that in Microsoft's case the anti-trust lawsuit came too late, at a time when Microsoft had already abused their monopoly to bully hardware vendors/destroy the competition by any means necessary.
