- hnra 6y agoThere are viable alternatives to Apple devices while Windows absolutely dominated. However, I kinda wish that there were some antitrust laws around vertical integration.
- realharo 6y agoAlso, commercial browser vendors were much more of a thing back then, so there was someone to complain.
- pmontra 6y agoWindows was on 90+% of PCs from multiple manufacturers. iOS is on about 20% smartphones worldwide and all of them manufactured by Apple. I understand the percentage is higher in the USA, still not a monopoly IMHO.
