I'm inclined to believe Microsoft still doesn't quite has the (understandably challenged) dominance it once had, but your comment gives me pause. Perhaps its stranglehold is still worth challenging? EDIT: Playing fast and loose, my characterization of the current climate is that the monopoly is more diffuse, shared with Google and Apple and Facebook, but the end result is that we've ended up with a 'triopoly' that is just as dangerous as Microsoft's monopoly was at one point in time. We're not that much better off, and the arsenal of countermeasures is much weaker in dealing with these new monopolies.
