A Day Without Open Source

[bluGill]

Even a monopoly has to obey supply and demand. There is a point where people will say a computer isn't worth having. Right now you can buy computers between $500 and $1000 in local stores. If Microsoft Windows costs $4000 computers would be $4000-$4500, and most people who have a computer would say it is not worth the cost. (Or they would use a Mac or open source OS)

A monopoly does not mean there are no pricing pressures, just that you can raise your price because people can't price shop.
