Well, i do agree with what is said below, are they really a monopoly still?
In EU they are being forced to remove products from THEIR software that THEY made and now possibly being forced to put in 3rd party parts!
I think that is unreal - that is like tell Coke, they have to sell Pepsi in their vending machines... ?
I think people are going to far against Microsoft and simply want to see them fail, then when another company cant provide and innovate like MS has done - and you can not deny that, then they will cry about the other companies being a monopoly....
whine whine whine, is that all people do these days?

Microsoft Windows still dominates the desktop. But in many other areas,
including Web servers and supercomputing, Microsoft is just one player
among many, and often a weak player at that. On the gaming side, despite
the latest xBox getting all kinds of media buzz as "the" console to buy,
Sony's Playstation outsells the xBox at least two to one, and many
analysts expect Sony to widen that gap even more when Playstation 3 comes
out in the Spring of 2006. On the Internet, MSN and MSN Search are so far
behind AOL and Google that it isn't funny. And even on the desktop, Linux
keeps getting stronger, while Mac OS X is commonly accepted as more
reliable, secure, and user-oriented than Windows. So why do we keep
saying Microsoft is a monopoly?
