i think usa today said it best the other day:

there was a q&a section on what microsoft had done wrong, and why did it
hurt us.

it said in the united states, monopolys are illegal because it allows
one product to dominate and control the competition.

and microsoft had done that, they have 90 or 95 percent of the p/c
desktop market, and for most people the other alternatives (ie linux)
are not pratical.

their profit margin is 40%, and their products are unreliable.  if there
was reasonable competition, we would have reliable, cheaper products.

so remember this, every time you get a fatal error, or your p/c locks
up....

and as for cheap help, isn't it $2.50 per minute?  that works out to
$150 per hour..
