I don't see what the point of this article is. It's not even related to technology. This looks like a poor attempt of self promoting.

I sure hope they do. That will put a huge dent on MS's market share.

Antitrust laws are created to encourage competition and prevent unfair business practices by a monoply, which may or may not translate to $$ immedately. Look at how stagnant IE6 has been if it not for Firefox encroaching on its territory. If IE presumably takes over 100% of the browser market, Microsoft can put itself in a position to influence other markets that revolves around web services and applications. ASP .NET would suddenly become a defacto web standard and Microsoft could then possibly take over the server market by offering "compatible" solutions that won't break your websites when using IE. Companies like Mozilla Corporation and Opera operate by profits made not by the browers that they produce, but services that they provide for their browsers to businesses. As for the browser download, a simple FTP will suffice, or let OEM handle the bundled software.

"If Microsoft made their own PCs and didn't license their OS to anyone else it would make sense they could do the same."

Not quite right. The only reason Microsoft is getting shitted on is because it holds monoply status in the OS market. Apple does not, and therefore is not subject to antitrust law. If Apple somehow took over the market and became a monoply in the PC market, guess what? Apple will likely be forced to decouple the OS from the hardware platform.

Microsoft is a previously convicted monoply. The laws do not operate the same on an entity that holds monoply on a given market even in the US. You say Microsoft writes the operating system, and I agree, it should stay focused on the OS part and stop forcing its way into other market segments leveraging its monoply status.

I would like to know what site is offering 5 bucks or so per month fee for 2TB of storage.

Because it takes an effort to read when it should have been easy with proper grammar. FYI, I did not even attempt to read your first post. Why waste posting a long post when it will be simply ignored, eh?
