Story: Microsoft's antitrust concessions are 'pointless'

Without a common operating system in the world there simply woudlnt be a real world computer industry. Sure you would have internet geek ware but computers for the masses wouldnt exist. Nor would the massive range of software that is currently avaliable.
I've not in favour or against monopolies its justs an ineviable state for many products. The world was never going to accept multiple video recorder format and in the end it wont accept multple OS's. Jo Bloggs the secretary needs to go from one company to another and see the same WP/computer. Anyone who cant see this lives in dreamworld
