That’s just incorrect on the face of it. Linux and Mac have existed for as long as Windows, or longer. It’s pure opinion to say there were no competitors.

- acoard 8y agoWith monopoly cases, it's all about market share. In the late 90s, Windows had 95%+ of the market[0]. I believe (but may be mistaken) that the legal threshold often used is 75%. Apple isn't there, but Windows certainly was. [0] https://cdn.arstechnica.net/articles/culture/total-share.media/marketshare.jpg https://cdn.arstechnica.net/articles/culture/total-share.med...
- tekknik 8y agosince when does market share determine what competitors there are? competitors are businesses competing against each other for the same market share. so your chart actually proves my statement since both linux and apple existed at this time.
