I was not quite active during the period when Microsoft ruled
(1990-2000 ). But then the trend has been slowly changing , with the
popularity of other open source technologies , and better options and
not to forget how big a flop Vista was . Microsoft played a monopoly
in the market for quite some time . They went from the OS to the
browser and so on , ... Now there seems to be another
player in the market ( even stronger a contender ).. GOOGLE ... it has
come the other way round( from the internet to the system ) and is
trying its hand at everything ( considering the news that even an OS
might be out soon ) , Google's approach has been very different from
Microsoft's but the final destination is the same . But I seriously
think a Google monopoly will do a lot more harm , given the amount of
user related data it collects !...
Is this all a emMonopoly /emCycle, one firm takes a monopoly and
then another comes up to break that ??
First Microsoft and now Google .. what next ?
