Microsoft turns to U.S. for EU Antitrust Help

DavidB:
The writing is on the wall. Do you really think the European Union, Latin America, India and China will all continue to suck up to Microsoft? Microsoft remains extraordinarily powerful yet equaly fragile at the same time. All it would take to topple it is a single political or social event, a competitor that's a little better than Microshaft's Windows, an accident or terrorist attack...

They're a monopoly. The competion (Ubuntu, Mac OS X, Debian, OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Opera), that BTW is already in many ways better than MS products, won't be enough to take them down. We already have products better than MS's. People just aren't using the right tool for the right job, they're using what everyone else uses for the same job.

I don't expect MS will topple over in any short period of time. But their grip will loosen, which would do me just fine.

[OFFTOPIC]What I find funny is that even though NT is DESIGNED especially for IA32s, a UNIX based OS can still perform that much better. HA!!![/OFFTOPIC]
