Well, in fairness, they didn’t do anything nice with the money either.

Okay they aren’t good, but seriously what makes them a monopoly? I haven’t seen anyone make a good argument for this. There isn’t a single industry they’re in, that I know or can think of, that they hold enough market capture to be a monopoly.

Microsoft has lots of kickass stuff. Just Bing it, bro. Or jump on Teams with me and I’ll explain it while I rock out with my Zune.
