Bill Gates would love you. Microsoft used its position to kill of Netscape. Could you imagine how rich they would be if they could strong arm everyone into only using their products?

To be honest, if Microsoft didn't give a shit about anti-trust laws and if they just let Apple die instead of investing in them, we wouldn't have Apple today. Which - to be clear: would be a great thing.

Maybe we should actually all strive to be more monopoly-oriented, the laws be damned.
