Reminds me of John D. Rockefeller's agreement with shippers.Gates must have studied history.

Regardless, ultimately Microsoft lost the US antitrust lawsuit and is no longer dominant in the era of the Internet.

Much of the money he earned would end up funding good causes so I feel there is some justice in all of this.

They still have two strong monopolies: Windows and Office. Neither are going anywhere anytime soon.

Windows and Office are dominant but they are not monopolies. People have alternatives. I haven't used a Windows machine (at least at home) for years.

I've not either, but most non-apple machines I've bought has a XP/Vista sticker on it.
