that's one corporation and their business has not stopped free enterprise.
firefox is increasingly usurping IE's market share.
the *nixes are increasingly usurping the MSWin32 market share.
my company is a direct competitor of MS.
They have not stopped it, if anything the success of Microsoft could, in many ways, be credited with inspiring the tech boom of the late 80s and 90s (continuing today)...look at how many millions have been made for americans in stock...how many jobs have been created and how much innovation we've had in personal computing!
What LF is trying to do is use the whole Walmart made my grandma close her general store argument.
I can start a business right now...and nobody is stopping me.
Corporate america gets a bad wrap, but it's better than working at a video store as some half-assed, broke-ass new age wanderer with no health care, retirement or financial security.
The real problem is with people not recognizing their potential and pidgeonholing themselves into shitty paths.

I don't break bones.. they are made of adamantium fracture maybe.. then I got a splint but by 2045 I should have my own bonnaroo or some variant thereof...
And about music.. yeah.. but.. yeah. I've all but given up on that particular venture.. I dunno, anythings possible though.

Soon quite a lot of you in the corporate world are in for a very rude awakening. You think your system is infallable?
It's inevitable that it will fall, and fall hard, and fall utterly, and fall completely.
The system as a whole is but a house of cards, with all parts inter-dependent, and it's unstable as fuck, just look at the crazy laws.
Fasten your safety belt, 2012 is right around the corner. I don't know if I subscribe to the whole pegging it down to a specific date thing or not, but 2012 sounds about right I'd say.
Just give Bush's successor 4 years, and watch what happens.
