Chipp, you are very IT focused...
If M$ has 80% or 85% or 90% - no matter: Its a pest anyway: Its a  
monopol. Monopols will be killed sooner or later. This world lives  
since billions of years from/in diversity. That diversity has killed  
much bigger animals than M$.

M$ is about 30 years. Less than a nanoseconds in the evolution? Big  
as a microfuruncle on the scrotum of the planet. But shouldnt we  
better crush it until it makes us impotent?
Or better: shouldnt the intelligent US people better crush it until  
it makes them impotent?
It will make them impotent, much less potent as they are now, or do  
you really think India and China will "buy!" Billions of M$ Licenses  
in this century?

PS: I hope I have it right expressed in english...
