>>The more competition there is, the better off consumers will be.
Competition is good, it motivates companies to operate more efficiently. I'm all for that! However, when a company reaches a level of specialization where its unit costs begin to fall as production rises, they can sell cheaper and cheaper. Once they capture the market, it is the job of regulators to make sure they don't start exercising monopoly power by cutting back production to raise prices. MS is not doing this! If MS can produce software more efficiently then anyone else, let them do so and everyone is better off.
Keep in mind consumers vote with their pocket books. MS would not have risen to the top of the software market by not making people happy!
