Still think that government intervention in the economy is a good thing?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elim Garak: [QB] My problem is that Microsoft is not really a monopoly. Just look at Linux and Apple. Sure, there's not that wide a variety of programs and so on, but that's hardly [i]Microsoft[/i]'s fault. It's the fault of the people (whether they be the people at the computer stores or the actual consumers) who bought so many copies of Windows. There wouldn't be so many games and programs if it weren't for that. Plain and simple. This is what is known as the "demand" in "supply and demand."

IMO, you can hardly fault Microsoft for taking something that the people (who the people are, exactly, I'm not sure; but it's [i]someone[/i] else) gave them and running with it. That's the simplest bit of business sense. Besides, nothing is stopping you from getting a Mac or a Linux-based machine and associated programs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
