Daily Dose of BS April 5 monopoly


It is weird for me to think that a company that once ruled the computer world is being forecast to be obsolete by 2017.  The reason that the report says that Microsoft will be obsolete by then started when governments from around the world complained that it was too big a monopoly about a half decade ago, now there are a few open source internet browsers such as Firefox and my favorite Google Chrome they are better and faster and free. As a result, millions of computer users changed software and started to change their computer habits. The latest computers don't need to run the new Windows operating system. Today, most people are satisfied with their current version of windows, I have 7 on my machines and have no desire or need to upgrade.  I don’t understand how a business that was once at the top of its game was broken up by the government and then allowed another company to come in and start their monopoly.  Oh wait this happens all too often.  Do you think that we need to bust the monopolies or accept them for what they are?
