Why doesn't anybody do anything about Microshaft monopoly? Are anti-monopoly laws just memes? Is Microshaft the best example of final stage capitalism?

>Are anti-monopoly laws just memes?
yep

You’d need some damnngood software to interrupt the feedback loop. Enterprise supports MS applications and their OS. If you want to disrupt it, someone would have to make a better office suite than Microsoft Office and teach a whole generation to use Linux as the primary OS.

But if everyone used Linux, don’t you think that companies would infect it horribly? The Amazon app on Ubuntu makes some autists reeee, but imagine if all companies were vested in making a distribution of Linux for the consumer and have governments pay even more attention to it... would it really be much different than Windows at that point? I’ll give you a hint - MacOSX is a BSD offshoot.

why do companies not make their own distributions of reactOS or BSD

>Are anti-monopoly laws just memes?
user, interfering in the market would be leftism tantamount to the crimes of Stalin

>"at least it's not the gubbermint"

The solution is to make open source software mandatory and outlaw properitary software.

You mean the Google monopoly? There are far more computers running Google's OS.

Because big companies do not like doing anything challenging, while the kinds of people who could do something tend to be the kind of hermits that is responsible for the current condition of Linux.

To buttfuck MS, you'd need to make a Linux distribution that is heavily incompatible and designed from the ground up with best practice and standard guidelines.
And then you'd need to re-engineer every use-case for Windows.
>GUI with fuckloads of little touches - Middle-click a task bar icon to open new instance of program, Shift+right-click for "copy as path" option, right-click "run as administrator option", etc.
>Games
>No need to ever leave the GUI, even less than Windows, while also not crippling the CLI
>Alternative to last point: A system that fuses CLI and GUI in a way that makes the entire thing really usable and with a learning curve that consists less of reading documentation and more of clicking through menus (e.g. look at how atrocious the settings in iOS are - and yet the normies have no issues with it, as you learn that shit by heart by clicking around)
>Backlog of multiple decades of useful software - good luck combining that with also doing a Linux distribution based entirely on best practices. Case in point: dd
>Easy installation workflow - repositories are nice and all, but 99% of all Windows software is installed by double-clicking a file

Basically, you would need to rewrite most of GNU and throw out X/Wayland entirely in favor of something actually good. And then you have Q&A and all of that shit for every single component.

The companies don't want to risk it and the grognards *always* make it an issue of "us vs them" whenever they try to make an "easy to use"/"beginner-friendly"/"GUI-centered" system. They design something entirely useless with a feature-set intended for "those brainlets normies who clearly wouldn't understand any customizability". Or they try to ape Apple, but without the R&D that goes into their crippled feature sets.

Microsoft is based though

Microsoft themselves are working hard against their own monopoly.

Seems like you know nothing about the CoC. SJWs have a master - The one who pays media to brainwash them, The one who pays universities to brainwash them, The one who wants governemtn to be in a certain way.
(((The one))) who is not a race but a class.

> Because big companies do not like doing anything challenging
This is factually wrong. Companies do everything to reduce expenses and shorten time to market. That's why Docker took off, that's why Openstack/Vagrant/Ansible are recognized. Switching from MS infrastructure is something that won't show returns, unless they outsource it.

Because it's actually not that much less work than writing your system from scratch if you want to go full desktop.
Apart from the kernel, a compiler and maybe small parts of drivers and userland, you can almost nothing for an actually usable consumer OS.

He means Android
And it's true
around 82% of smartphones run Android, and since most people today use their smartphones as their primary computing device, it's effectively the most widely used OS in the world

At least android is open sauce

The suite isnt the problem its the years of proprietary files. They have companies by the balls.

Also users who dont want change

microsoft isn't a monopoly you dumb commie faggot.

This is something that really should be done though limited to the public sector. If you're a private citizen or private corporation then you should obviously be allowed to buy or sell whatever you want. Government offices, schools and so on, on the other hand, should absolutely be forced to use and teach open source software.

Microsoft absolutely is a limited monopoly. Try to find any store that will sell you a non-mac laptop which comes pre-installed with an operating system that's not Windows. I'll wait. The worth part of this is that they will charge you extra if you say you don't want Windows pre-installed.

not a monopoly, retard.
>what is macos
>what is linux

last time anti-trust laws were applied was during the Rockefeller era so yeah, they mean nothing today, which is a very bad thing may I add.

>linux
1.68%
>macos
13%
wooooooooow

You're red is showing you uneducated twat.

Monopolies can only exist in some markets and often only when government regulation turns a free market into an oligopoly.

Gonna need some documentation on that one. Don't try to pass your statements of faith off as fact littered with insults.

in what market does microsoft hold a monopoly?

...

I see you're a kike

>You're

lul

that is not a monopoly you absolute fucktard

Turns out nobody else is capable of making a tolerable PC operating system. If Linux had a modicum of polish and a consistent UI people would use it, it's free! But time isn't free and it's worth it to pay for better software.

So basically in 5 years only Windows 10 will survive and all the older windows versions and everything else will be either subpar or deprecated forever. Thank you, based capitalism.

Yeah why would you bother using a much older version of Windows? Back when Windows 7 was still new, people on Jow Forums insisted they'd stay with XP forever but they obviously did not. The same thing is happening now with people claiming they'll stay on 7 forever, and in a decade they'll be claiming they'll stay on 10 forever.

The difference here is that Microsoft said Windows 10 is the last version and it will be supported indefinitely. The future is very grim.

Windows 10 is pretty good, no complaints here.

monopoly: one company supplies the product, can do what they want without anything to stop them. Can't think of an example atm.
oligopoly: the product is in the hands of a few, usually because its hard to get into. ISP's for example.
monopolistic: many many companies all selling the same product, have to compete to make it more desirable than the competition. OS industry for example.
perfect competition: everyone has an ~equal share of the industry and bring down prices, increase customer satisfaction, faster production, etc. Barber shops for example.

if you don't believe me look up these terms yourself.

i see you're a child

*your

programs are being sold as services, being moved to "the cloud", and their interfaces aren't even native anymore, but work through web browsers. I'd say this is the best moment ever for linux to become mainstrean... yet here we are, no one gives a shit (except Valve perhaps).

>can do what they want without anything to stop them. Can't think of an example atm
IMAGINE being this retarded.

well the arab oil cartel is an oligopoly.

Oh right, water, electricity, and other utilites are more often then not a monopoly. Often Gov owned or Gov funded.

Netscape tried to do this in the 90's. Winblows started installing IE Explorer in the OS by default. At the time, Netscape was the non-meme browser.
TL;DR. Microsoft won, which set precedent for the future.

Unrelated but windows 10 is just a delivery platform rather than an OS. They considerably alter the OS with each update, adding or removing features or botnet bullshit, and changing visual layouts. It's gotten to the point that you need to define "which" numbered iterative sub-version of Win10 you're on, like some fucking linux distro. Windows 10 is all microsoft needs to keep deploying newer and newer functional changes to the OS as a whole, and it'll get to the point where an early win10 program may not be compatable with a later win10 version.

you better get used to that, human
