Re: My response to Martin's op-ed

Microsoft gets lashed as an eeevil monopoly while no one can argue with how much better off people are with their products—as if they’ve been coerced into buying them or something.
Actually, we are not better off with Microsoft's products. We are probably worse off than if we would have went with the competitors (Apple, Novell, Word Perfect, Lotus).

And people were coerced (or FORCED) into buying them. Read up on the case and you'll see a lot of illegal tactics.

If everyone would be using Apple, Linux or whatever else. We would end up with the same problems. You would have just as many viruses and worms and whatnots as you do with Microsoft products.
I'm not saying that MS didn't do anything wrong, I don't know everything about there little monopoly lawsuit. I'm just saying that the grass wouldn't nessisarly be greener on the otherside.

With the rural areas of the US not having BB. It's just the American way. Screw the little guy. As long as I can keep getting all this money out these people over here... I'm not going to bother to spend the money to give the others the same service.
