They DO have a monopoly, by definition. They can control pricing. They
can (and have) control entry into the market. They do NOT, by
definition, have to have a 100% market share.
You keep bleating that the Jackson decision will be overturned, but you
and the other "experts" bleated there wouold be a very rapid response
from the appellate. It hasnt happened. Court watchers from both sides
have said, you cant make a call on which way the appellate will decide
based on the questioning of the lawyers.
Get a clue. Buy one if you have to, but get one.

How does outlawing MS products equate to cutting oneself off from the
rest of the world? Well it might if MS gets their way and all
internet access uses their 'standards'.

Amazing, simply stupendous!
Microsoft finally has the equivalent of telneting into a Windows box,
something Linux has had since 1993, and now all the Windows users who have
consistently rubished it, are now raving about this 'wonderful feature'!

Funny thing is though, I have been posting about 6 months now with my
real email adress, both here, and on slashdot, and my spam intake is
still at only 1 on average daily. I do take the time to report them to
their ISP's if I can parse the headers, so maybe I've landed on some
'Don't spam him' list?
Even if the spam in my mailbox would grow, I'd still use my real email
address, as I just plain refuse to bow to this kind of terrorism (yes I
hate spammers, what gave you that idea?).

Second that and I nominate Erik F. for second place (like most people
seem to do). Both are very reasonable people, though Erik is a little
more stubborn, and that tends to get people irritated.

In the real world, it equated to the same thing. if you imply somthing
people will assume you mean it. if you keep implying things that you
don't mean, then you're an idiot.

Enough people. But yet you took no action to correct them, because that
is what you meant.

I'm not trying to fit anything in to your mouth. You're trying to say
stuff without saying it so people can't actually say you said it when you
look like an idiot (ie frequently).

You are if you write your comments in a way designed to be
misinterpreted, which you do.
