and sold it and made a shit load...
i think without microsoft other companies would have made other products...
instead of m$ buying up the competition...
and there would be alot more competition that way
pointless post
It just made me notice though - what u on about? Billy G wrote dos himself. Without Billy G there would be no dos and no microsoft to buy it up if thats what they really did... of course other companies would have done the same but it would have been slower. And without microsoft there would be less competition, not more. The only lack of competition that creates is for itself. In fact, it encourages other companies to work hard to compete with them, even if it means that their huge buying power means they don't have to excel themselves themselves (yes that does make sense with 2 words - work it out
).
