You have to add Microsoft to this list unless you live in complete denial about the massive monopoly that they have in office IT. And they are actually the first that should be broken up, splitting the office suite from everything else.
- trinsic2 3y agoMicrosoft should be the first one to be split up. Their dominant position is more pervasive than any other market because the operating system people use in their computers is the gateway to get too these other services. The second should be Apple for the same reasons. Then Amazon.
- PartiallyTyped 3y agoI fail to see why apple should be split. Nobody forces people to buy macs, very few do, and as for iPhones, there are alternatives and apple doesn’t have a monopoly over the phone industry. You can very well use icloud on other OSes too.
- rafaelmn 3y agoApple doesn't even hide the tax. The shit they get to pull with safari is beyond IE level - they straight up don't allow alternative browsers (beyond WebKit) on 50% of mobile market.

- slikrick 3y agoyou can't use 99% of apple services on Android. no apple maps, no find my, no iMessage, no apple calendar, no reminders. nobody forces people to use windows either, but yet a company having 60% of the global phone market is pretty comparable considering that's literally probably more phones than people actively using windows daily
- dmonitor 3y agoIf Apple had >5% desktop market penetration, you’d have a point. They should definitely open up iOS to installing apps outside the app store, but their position isn’t nearly as abusive as Microsoft’s. Even their 50-60% share of the mobile market is pretty competitive compared to Windows.
