Have you read Gerns post on the first page? I've directed you to it at least once before.

Just my own 2 cents here:

A "pure" monopoly as defined in the strictest dictionary sense has probably never existed, because even if a mom & pop shop that makes no money is competing against a megagiant, then the megagiant is technically not a "pure" monopoly.

But monopoly as used in practice normally means a company that has "monopoly power". This would apply to many companies, such as Microsoft, and the old Standard Oil, IBM, and AT&T. It might even apply to Walmart. If that weren't the case, how could the Government have threatened to break up Microsoft??? After all, Linux was around at the time.
