   That's not the point.  A technical user, whether it be of souped-up cars   
   or souped-up computers, can always find a path to what he/she wants in a   
   niche market.  The average user, even if they know of the niche market,   
   do not have the savvy or the desire to work out how to use the   
   niche market to their advantage.   
      
   The point is that Microsoft has forced all other OS vendors into the   
   niche market.  That way, they can provide the default solution with   
   absolutely no competition.   
      
   And the current U.S. administration told the D.O.J., "Hands off".
