- shmerl 6y agoDid it? Windows still has very strong monopolistic influence.
- eitland 6y agoThe experience is night and day compared to what it was. Old Microsoft still rears its ugly head, I guess much to the annoyance of everyone in the company who tries - and succeeds - in making money in honest ways, but the difference is still enormous.
- shmerl 6y agoYeah, it got better in some areas (participation in Alliance for Open Media for example is great), but not much better in others where MS still has sickening lock-in (MS still did support Vulkan effort).

- bosswipe 6y agoThe only reason Firefox was able to gain traction over IE in the early 00's was the antitrust case. Without it Chrome and Safari probably wouldn't exist either.
- julienb_sea 6y agoI'm pretty sure you are disregarding the technical improvements that Firefox and Chrome made over IE, and the marketing prowess of Google putting the Chrome installer on their search page. Other browsers were perfectly legitimate to build and install before the antitrust case... Safari is a weird thing to bring up as its primary use case is outside the domain of IE.
