none of these are valuable services

Those billionaires you mentioned in your op disagree.

maybe you should try graduating from college, where you can learn how easily corporations can change or manipulate laws.

Microsoft has already had antitrust cases brought against it and it hasn't always won. If they made their own PCs they'd be buried in litigation up to their eyeballs.

too much penis?

 

[Sean Patrick]

so it would take years to punish MS while they systematically put everyone out of business and make billions selling PCs.

what happens with antitrust if they lose? they pay a fine? will the cons outweigh the pros? probably not.

 

[MJinZ]

you really think apple will give out it's iOS?

what about gaming consoles? nintendo has the whole "mass market" and at least has 60-70% of the gaming market and possibly more in the handheld market but they restrict their AAA to their hardware only isn't that considered a monopoly?

You're free to buy non-Nintendo video games.

Seriously, please go back to school and stop posting. It will take all of 2 seconds for a Judge to stop all sales of anything Microsoft makes for even whispering the thought.

Nobody cares about your choice of sexual partner....

Microsoft would hold a monopoly on Personal Computers.

Nintendo does not hold a monopoly on Video Games.

How old are you and did you ever get a Diploma?

[Sean Patrick]

what if microsoft moves overseas?

 

[pcgeek11]

To double your pleasure ...

 

[Sean Patrick]

what if microsoft opened a sister company that manufacturers computers and they called it microapple?

Do you think Chinese or Russian companies don't have to comply with US Laws when they are trying to do business with American consumers?

 

[MJinZ]

A sister company has no effect.

Microapple would not be accepted here as a trademark or brand as it would infringe upon the obvious Apple.

Hint: Micro$oft is not a company or a trademark owned by someone else.

 

[SampSon]

Why not?

Exactly.

I figure two penises would have enough brains between them to not post juvenile questions, or statements, (penis) or strings of broken thoughts, whatever.

do not be mad at me, be mad at the quality of our schooling..

either that or you are in dire need of some new insults

what if they stop doing business with american consumers?

who needs to comply with laws set by 300 million americans when you can focus on the 6.6 billion other human beings?

penis.

Post some facts to back up your assertions penis.

Or maybe I'll do it for you penis.

If Americans are so damned dumb, why do they own just about every company you mention in this post, penis?

 

[Dirigible]

Do you know how much profit there is in every computer sold?
Do you know what percentage of that profit is claimed by MS v. what percentage claimed by the computer maker?
Do you know how much effort MS would have to go through to capture the extra profit now enjoyed by the computer maker?
Do you know what that would do to MS's margin?

If you knew all that, you'd know why MS doesn't make desktops or laptops.
