I concede that MS has the bulk of the market. But please notice that 
other OS's *do* exist and/or *could* exist and they *could* be put into 
the market against Windows. Other companies have simply dropped the ball.

Also, please notice what happened to the phone company once they lost 
their government protected monopoly. They *were* huge and apparently 
undefeatable. Where are they now? No monopoly can survive forever 
because there are always alternatives and sooner or later something new 
comes up to change the market dynamics.
