MS doesn't play nice in the rest of thebusiness world  we call that poor showmanship in the US of A its call agresssive marking. Call it what you want. You can hide your head if you want, but the facts are clear. No Dell is not a monoply as there are competition say Sony, IBM, I can name dozens of other manufacters of computers but they all MUST preinstall windows, MUST now. So please inform ourself before you look stupid. 

Hi,

"MSFT ruled a monopoly"

There are more, simply google on "Microsoft monopoly ruling" to find them...
