Utilities?

[Bernie Corrigan]

Since it's a slow day on the list server here's a question for discussion:

Certain industries, by their very nature, are thought to need to be
monopolies.  The compromise to keep them from getting totally out of control
is "regulation."  Their prices are controlled and any increases must be
approved...

Has the Windows operating system become a public utility now that it has
been found to be a monopoly and if so, should it be regulated and if so, how
is it to be regulated?
