Ekuziphatheni okwenza inkulumo ethi I-Monolithic Monopoly ibukeke njengesitolo sezinto zikaMama ne-Pop, iMicrosoft manje isixwayisa abasebenzisi ukuthi bangase babhekane nezinkinga zokuphepha ngisho noma bethenga amakhophi asemthethweni e-Windows. Kodwa lesi akusona isikhathi esihlekisayo sokuzazi; lesi isexwayiso sesitayela se-mafia emigqeni yokuthi Okuthile okubi kungenzeka uma ungenzi ngemikhiqizo eyanele ye-Microsoft.
Umnyombo walolu daba yi-Windows Vista ethukwa kakhulu, amabhizinisi amaningi anqume ukungazihluphi ngayo ngesizathu sokuthi akufanele athenge i-mainframe entsha ye-supercomputer yawo wonke umsebenzi odinga i-imeyili. Abaningi, empeleni, ukuthi iMicrosoft iphoqeleke ukuthi ibuyisele emuva usuku lokuphela kweWindowsXPfuthi - nge-Windows 7 indiza emkhathizwe - ibhekana nethemba elisabekayo labantu abanesibindi sokungawuthengi umkhiqizo ophukile abangazange bawufune. Ngokusobala, lokhu ngeke kume.
I-VP yeMicrosoft uMike Nash ubhala ephepheni elimhlophe elisanda kukhishwa, ngokuyisisekelo isongela noma yiliphi ibhizinisi nge-temerity ukuzama ukuthuthukisa kusukaXP(umkhiqizo osemthethweni we-Microsoft) kuya ku-Windows 7 (umkhiqizo osemthethweni we-Microsoft). Bazobhekana nokuba sengozini kwezokuphepha, ukuzinza okungaqinisekile, ukwesekwa okuncishisiwe kanye - kubonakala - nezinhlupho zesikhonyane kuyilapho ukusekelwa kwe-MS kubhekile futhi kuhoxise.
Ngaphandle uma kunjalo, bathenga ikhophi ye-Vista. Ake ngiphinde ngisho ukuthi uma kwenzeka unxiwankulu olwesabekayo lungazange lungene ngaphakathi: amakhasimende kuzodingeka athenge yonke imisebenzi ehlulekile ukuze nje athole ilungelo lokuthenga enye. Okusho ukuthi onjiniyela be-MS NJENGAMANJE ABALUNGISIXP-ukungahambisani nenguqulo ekhulayo yamafasitela, ngoba kakade sebenqume ukumane bahlukumeze abantu ekuthengeni imikhiqizo emibili.
Ukubiza lokhu ngokuhlukunyezwa okukhulu kwesisekelo samakhasimende kungaba ukuhoxisa ukubulawa ngokuhlukumeza njengokuwubulwane.
