Well one thing is for sure... Sony although dominate right now is not a MONOPOLY in any of the markets. They have Philiphs, Toshiba, Nec and a bunch of other companies on their as to compete with.
MS on the other hand exploited their monopoly of the OS market to application, web browsers, games, and EVEN hardware.
My brother is a programmer... he explained all the limitations Microsoft has placed upon the industry. Microsoft is trying to cripple Java by creating a counter opposing copycat programming langaue C Sharp.
Any high level assosiation in need for foward software won't go to MS... they'll go to Sun Microsystems.
I know non of this applies to the gaming market... for now that is. Don't forget that it took MS an average of 7-9 years to break through with each of their products and this is wha scares me with the X-Box.
