96 billion and twice the size of their main competitor. If that doesn't
scream "American Success Story" then I don't know what does.

They also failed with token-ring, and officially ended selling home PCs a
whole long time ago.

No, I've decided I'm pretty stupid. I'm stupid enough to not create my own
fear of microsoft and live in it all day. I'm stupid enough to believe that
microsoft may have insane amounts of power, but they do not have the power to
do what you have written.
Back in high school debate, we were taught of a concept known as "Threat
Construction". I highly suggest you do your homework and look into it.
Lastly, I find myself at greater odds with NYLXS's close-minded ultra-leftist
rhetoric.
