@niles_corder@mstdn.io Microsoft still has a strong barrier to entry in place. The monopoly is not dead and was never really remedied. @kyle@mstdn.io

@kyle I think you're missing all the corporate sales. My office develops embedded products using C language. All of our compilers are based on hardware platform, but the company as a whole has standardized on Microsoft, so every dev has an MS professional developer license. $$$ Plus any additional licenses they are paying for TFS, Teams, Office, etc. @lightweight @lunduke

@lunduke On data mining, it's hard to tell how much Microsoft is doing that off of Bing, but in the past (and maybe still in the present) they've mined data from OS installs and Office installs. Given that there's money to be made, I'd bet they're doing it with Bing as well.
Until Google gets to a place where it's they've restricted choice as much as Microsoft has, they're not even 1 times as bad as Microsoft. I can use Firefox without jumping through hoops; I can't say the same for non-Windows.

@lunduke You're wrong on a few points. As far as Google bundling browser and OS, Google isn't working from a monopoly position. The Microsoft bundling was far, far worse; not only was it restricting browser use on it's OS, it was also trying to make other browsers unusable. Granted Netscape was also notorious for using non-standard HTML (etal), but it wasn't working from a monopoly position. Google's bundling is more comparable to Apple.
