Microsoft is a monopoly, and it can't be stopped without being brought down legally. Only problem is the court rulings do nothing to bring down Microsoft. I mean, splitting up Microsoft only makes for worse products, which they can't make decent ones as is, let's not hurt them. The problem is how they force companies into selling their OS on the computers. How they force users to use their browser.
The reason so many people, like yourselfs except for our Linux fans, don't switch to another OS is simply because Windows is a monopoly. You guys don't think Macs have enough games, so you stick with MS's ****. You don't think it has enough software, so you stick with MS. Now most of you could easily switch over to Mac, no problem. Linux might be more difficult, but the thing is you really sit there and bitch without changing things. Now most of you are stuck with what your parents purchase, but look at the general public.
Most of you guys could easily get by using a Mac. In fact, I garauntee if any of you ever used my Mac for a day, you wouldn't go back to Windows. But at the same time, most of you can learn to troubleshoot pretty easily, so if anything goes wrong (less likely on Macs, may I remind you), you can fix it, or call your local Mac guru up from your PC and figure it out. The general public doesn't have that option. The general public gets a CD-RW drive installed at Best Buy because they have trouble hooking up a few cords and installing the drivers. The general public can't have a PC that doesn't boot up and mess around with the BIOS settings to try to fix it. The general public must use Windows, because if they ever switch, they lose the local support. They would have to find a local Mac shop, which consists basically of Apple Stores, CompUSA, and various small shops you've never heard of.
See, the reason Microsoft has a monopoly is because the Windows users that can convert, aren't willing to convert, and the other users are not able to. It's like buying your first truck, but every car shop within 100 miles only worked on cars. You're almost forced into buying the product, and yes, that's a monopoly.
Now to all you fine fellows, convert already, damn! Need reasons to go to a Mac, start a new thread and I can write pages on a single subject. May I remind you, everything is easier on a Mac
