If Windows were the only operating system in existence you might have a point.What part of monopoly keeps confusing you? What % of the Windows operating system market do you think Microsoft owns? How about word processing, spreadsheets..? They control the office and home computer market. Like it or not they own it. Just as apple owns the apple OS. It's not open, it's a monopoly.Incorrect. A MONOPOLY IS A MONOPOLY NO MATTER HOW IT IS ESTABLISHED.What's the difference between business contracts that establish a monopoly and a monopoly?

No business contract has ever established a monopoly, so the distinction is purely imaginary.
I'm explaining the historical record to you, not your fantasy where any business has the power to grant another a monopoly.
