There seems to be an element around us that has the opinion that once Microsoft loses the browser market, the company is finished. In one opinion I read it all revolves around how Google is [...]

Here we go again. The DOJ is looking at Google as a monopoly, just like they did once before when they looked at Microsoft. But is Google really a monopoly if people like their stuff better than the competitions? This is what really needs to be looked at. Not just a dictionary term of what [...]

How times have changed. About a decade or so ago, when Netscape folded, Microsoft was basically the only browser left.
