Ahh, that reminds me again of the superb compression program I wrote a while ago: LZip (Lossy Zip). The only problem is that I LZipped the source code and removed all binaries.
But do you also know where the American agricultural products are exported to? Do you know how many Africans cant sell their agricultural products, because of the low priced (with subsidies!) American products?
Because Microsoft is also selling games for the Xbox. And some of those 'xbox hackers' are trying to run illegal copies of those Xbox games by hacking/modifying/etc it. This creates a loss-win situation in which Microsoft is (obviously) not interested in.

You can say a lot of things about both IE and Windows Media Player, but they're both far superiour to both Netscape and RealPlayer.
After both Netscape and MS released version 4 of their browsers (which were of comparable quality), Netscape just skipped version 5, while Microsoft released IE 5. Then version 6 of Netscape was released months after IE 5 and it wasn't worth trying at all. The same was valid for version 7.
It's true that because IE came bundled with Windows and wasn't uninstallable IE gain marketshare. But it's not only to blame on MS, because Netscape just released crappy versions of their browser.
This is also valid for Real. I mean, RealPlayer came loaded with ads and spyware, which really nobody was waiting for. Then they started complaining about Microsoft. Jees, just take a look at your own product and improve it. In the end they made RealPlayer open source. A good thing, but way to late if you ask me.
And there's one other thing you should keep in mind. Netscape and Internet Explorer both use the same medium: They both render webpages.
Windows Media Player, Quicktime and RealPlayer use all different formats. WMP uses.wmv, Quicktime uses.mov and RealPlayer uses.rm. And because WMP doesn't have support for both.mov and.rm, people will still install Quicktime and RealPlayer if they want to be able to play those filetypes. Therefore I consider this not an abuse of MS's monopoly.
It would be different of course when you would be able to play.mov and.rm files with WMP. Then it would be unfair competition. But right now it's just one format vs another.

for floating point maybe, but that's more because you're talking about a RISC. Both Intel and AMD use a CISC, so actually you're more or less 'flaming' and 'trolling' the x86 instruction set rather than the CPU itself.

A) Microsoft is a convicted monopolist.

sheet 1 A1 = 1, sheet 1 A2 = A1 * 2, sheet 2 A1 = sheet 1 A2 * 4, sheet 2 A2 = sheet 2 A1 * 5
You get an error in Excel idd, but thats because you made a mistake, not because Excel did. The following sequence does work (in Excel 2003 that is):
sheet 1 A1 = 1
sheet 2 A2 = A1 * 2
sheet 2 A1 = sheet1! A2 * 4
sheet 2 A2 = sheet2! A1 * 5
Notice the additional ! when you use "sheet" in a formula.
