    This was a time period when I willingly shilled Microsoft because they were the underdog option. I didn’t want Google to have monopoly on web design or non-Apple phones, and I think I was right to.

    Of course, now Microsoft holds its own unholy monopolies, and I can regret that all I like…

      Microsoft has been a monopolist since before United States vs Microsoft. That’s why Bill Gates is just another billionaire piece of shit - he stole and destroyed more than he can ever give back, because monopolies create a deadweight loss.
