IT seems to be the only industry where a clear monopoly isn't challenged. Imagine there was only one car manufacturer. using their vast monopoly profits to refine their vehicles. Every time someone came out with add ons say halogen lamps, the car manufaturer said "I'll offer those for free". Why would they do that? to maintain their revenue and profit and maintain barriers to entry. The cost of a PC has constantly gone down but Microsofts %age of the sale price has risen. They're a monopoly and should be controlled.
