How is that monopolistic? They took a great idea and maid their own

Microsoft also has a monopoly. You'll find the Mac and Windows
software markets are pretty different beasts.

I hate 'em both, but I keep XP as my main desktop so I can play games.
I'd love to use Linux as my desktop. Sadly I doubt that day will ever
come because video card manufacturers are never going to open-source
their drivers, and linux kernel hackers aren't going to provide a
reliable binary driver model. I think that'd be the first step to
getting more game developers on-board, but maybe I underestimate the
situation.
