- ZeroGravitas 4y agoIt can probably be modelled as a classic monopoly in many respects. Microsoft can drop its price in the short term to just below where switching makes sense and delay Linux, except for the oddballs but eventually the better fundamentals can break through. Along the way, a boatload of cash can be used to incentivise specific decision points, whenever a weak point is in danger. Like the old cliche of large government entities announcing they were going to switch to Linux to get a discount from Microsoft.
