Look how Firefox has grown to 16% of the market. I think that shows how you are not correct.
Aeh..you ARE aware of the various antitrust actions the government took to prevent MSFT from becoming an actual monopoly, don't you? Without government action in the past, the growth of Firefox, or any other such product, would have been difficult if not outright impossible. Of course, the playing field is still far from an idealised free market, but thanks to government checks and balances it's at least not at the level of tight stiffling oligopoly or monopoly.
