Maybe someone could also explain why I was moderated down as a troll (twice!)
I admit I'm not a frequent poster to Slashdot (in fact, I think this was my first), and maybe I don't understand what a troll is, but it seems like my question was a pretty simple one.
But how can someone be a monopoly where there are multiple other options? Apple, Linux, etc?
How is anyone prevented from using non-Microsoft software? I've always been able to buy boxes from local small-shop without Windows. I run a totally Microsoft-free life, and don't have any trouble doing so.
Again, this is probably a naive question, but maybe someone could inform me.
