Do you think Microsoft is losing its monopoly? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. THEcreationist (445)5 months ago

Nearly all of us, the computer users, use Microsoft products and services in terms of mainly software. Microsoft has managed to keep its monopoly in the software market for the last 15-18 years. But now, people have started saying that Microsoft is now losing its grip from the market.
There are now many competitors but isn`t Microsoft still performing well? Do you agree?

I think people has been saying that for years. I, for one, tried to leave Microsoft but it is not easy. I was thinking of Linux, but I have to learn how to install and all those tips are not easy. And then, I have to work with people who use MOffice, which is not helping me to use OpenOrg, as the format is not 100% compatible. Even one alignment error causes unhappiness in the office.

So, it looks like we are sticking to Microsoft for a long time. I only pray for a better Google. And free.:)

Yeah, friend, I also use nearly all-microsoft products. I also tried to use Fedora but that didn`t suit. Whatever lack in microsoft usage i have experienced is mainly due to Google. As you do, I also hope for a better Google, and if it is, that will be a big blow on Microsoft`s face.
Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!

Though regular users like us believe that Microsoft is losing tis grip from the market, still more than 95% people use microsoft products in every section(whether it is Operating System, Word processing, Browser... everything). Ofcoure eXperienced people like u and me know there are better softwares in every section now. But Many people are yet unaware of what other fimrs and their products hav become. One thing I can say is that, Yes The end of Microsoft monoplly is beginning..But It'll take something to see that happen may be years! thats the platform they're having.
Lets hope for the best
Good question!

Well, yeah, my friend. I think you are right in the sense that even though Microsoft has started to lose grip from the market, it is still favorite.
Rightly said, the end of Microsoft`s monopoly is beginning. But the platform Microsoft has built for itself makes me also an admirer, so i hope for something exclusive in future.
Thanks for your response. Happy Mylotting!!
