Actually a Monopoly is bad for free economics because they can charge more money and have less or zero Competition When the companies compete it is better for the consumer.

That is why the government has anti trust laws in place forbidding monopolies yet Billy Gates has so much money Microsoft does not have to play by the rules. They can buy up all their competitors legally. Bad for everyone except Bill Gates wallet and his shareholders wallet and the wallets of the lobbyists and politicians in Washington who grease the wheels and allow illegal monopolies to continue.

Where i live Verizon has the monopoly on fiber optic lines so they can charge whatever they please when if there was competition the costs would be less.

Monopolies are almost always bad for the consumer and i don't know of a single one in history that has been beneficial.

Now Microsoft OS is under a patent does not prevent other companies from creating their own operating systems, but the little startups being bought up by gates does. Bad for Us the consumer bad for free thinking and development of competing technology.

I find it funny that the Pirates of Silicon Valley as that movie pretty Much states we will always only have Apple and Microsoft competing.

I cannot stand Jobs or Gates.

I like the PC better than the Mac. The mac is designed for ease of use and to be retard proof. PC has better games. Better Software. Better customization. More overall processing power, can build better gaming rigs. Mac Good for editing video, or for rendering that's it as far as i know. Well the new ones supposed to be an entertainment machine playing Video and audio from the itunes store. Shitty quality movies and audio i call a de-evolution not a revolution. Not when i can have DVD quality movies and CD quality music why get mp3 at 320 kbps garbage. Worse quality than a casette tape, lower quality than even broadcast radio.
