Microsoft was found to be a monopoly because it was found that exactly
what you are saying is not true. It astonishes me how difficult it is to
get that simple message through to some people. I suppose it comes from
how much they wish it wasn't true so that so much of what they've been
saying wouldn't be so very wrong.

While there are market segments or niches where it is possible to
replace Microsoft products with an alternative, it is not possible for
the vast majority of users. This is a very large and complex issue but I
would think that just about anybody with the desire could come to
understand it. However, the first step is to be willing to accept the truth.
