I understand that a free market promotes competition, and that results
in providing what the buyers want. But I believe that sort of
thinking is a bit simplistic and shortsighted, and overlooks some
significant issues that the "little man behind the screen" doesn't
want people to see.

Certainly in a marketplace dominated by a monopoly, a free market is
inappropriate.


In a marketplace dominated by a monopoly a free market is nonexistent.


The Europeans know that, and are teaching Microsoft
about it.


No, the Europeans are displaying their dislike of free markets.



Very true and the best thing MS could do would be pull all oh their
product out of the EU including the termination on the licenses already
in place. The EU economy would crash and burn LONG before someone could
fill the gap.
