To have any meaningful conversation, you need to have a concrete and agreed upon definition of what you are talking about. Otherwise, it's just auto-erotic exercises. Since you brought up Microsoft as a monopolist, I used that definition to describe Apple's activities. It fits well there too. And you are quite correct; Microsoft was declared a monopolist only by Sleepy Jackson gerrymandering the "market" to exclude legitimate competitors. > Apple has actually gone a long way towards supporting virtualization, > but to critique them for not wishing to commit suicide is just the rantings > of MS fan boys.
