QUOTE(Apple Inc.) Since the software on every Mac is created by the same company that makes the Mac itself, you get a completely integrated computer that’s as secure, stable, and powerful as it is elegant and easy to use. http://www.apple.com/getamac/whymac/ Isn't that exactly why Microsoft was brought up on anti-trust laws by the EU? How is Apple getting away with it? |

I'm no lawyer, but I think to be guilty of having a monopoly, you have to have a monopoly. Apple has, what? 8% market share on a good day? That's hardly enough to control the market.

That's hardly enough to control the market. Last stats I saw were from July 07, showed Apple had about 11.3% of the market. I'm not saying Apple has a monopoly, but when they do finally overtake Microsoft (Which I project will be within the next few years), they're going to go through the same shit Microsoft did about the monopoly. |

QUOTE(superstitious @ Sep 8 2009, 02:58 PM) Out of curiosity, why do you say that? (I'm being sincerely curious) Apple is quickly gaining market share over Microsoft. (I mean very quickly, considering how long Microsoft has had 99.99999999999% market. QUOTE(rnicron @ Sep 9 2009, 03:28 PM) i wouldn't say that's the exact reason why, tbh. i don't know that reasoning, but i'm sure that's not it. It's because most people use Windows, and it would be more expensive to train the entire staff to use this new operating system (even if it's a free one like Linux or BSD) than it would be to continue buying licenses to the one they already use. Same reason for any business, school, etc. |
