Just found this from ZDnet:
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20010629/tc/you_can_still_stop_the_next_ms_monopoly_1.html
David Coursey's ideas as to why M$ will still be a monopoly and how one might
stop it dead in it's tracks.
IMHO what he says it's true, however I don't see a way of achieving stopping
them. It all sounds a bit dodgy, making someone wait until their competitors
are ready to compete and all that. It just doesn't sound like an "open"
market place anymore.
Although I do understand the reasons, there doesn't seem to be a "leg to
stand on"? Or is there... .
