I never said that. Anyone who says so is little better than an idiot.

Who's into name calling here?
From what I can see, you were not called any name. Rather I compared you to those who hide behind nuances of words and play word games rather than admitting that MicroSoft used their monopoloy on the home users desktop to crush Netscape, hijack Java and screw Kodak.
But since it's not a 'strict' monopoly, according to whatever definition you might have (and are not sharing) then it's just not a monopoly.
It's dullards like you (yes, now I AM NAME CALLING) who either choose to ignore or won't face up to reality that ultimate cause the Republicans to lose face in the long run.
MicroSoft is a very evil company, believe it or not. They are very anti-competitive and they make shoddy stuff. I'm also tired of linking to the same stuff that shows how MicroSoft compromises data on a daily basis, will be keeping tabs on your system (actually already is) and wants to make DAMN SURE you stay in the fold.
But because you picked up 100 shares at $55 and you're praying you make it back, you take a principled stand in the name of capitalism (of all things.)
1. I don't think. NO, I know you don't understand economics.
2. You have absolutely no grasp as to what's going on with your precious MicroSoft desktop (and the data therein)
3. You really don't know how the two are working together.

Do yourself a favor and get a clue. It might save you further embarassment. Especially when you have to resort to name calling like a childish liberal instead of narrowing the discussion, keeping it on topic and acting like AN ADULT.

Whew. That felt good.
