Mozilla says Microsoft won't allow rival browsers on ARM Windows desktop

Once they also had 0% of the server market and 0% of the database market. It does not prove anything.

Sure it does. You can't call them a monopoly if they haven't even entered the market yet.

Likewise, look at the Windows Phone area. It's hardly anything at this point, despite Microsoft having a brand name. In fact, what market share they did have dropped in 3 months.

Again, as I said before, Microsoft so far isn't doing anything wrong. And unlike the x86 market, Microsoft can't simply stick an x86 emulator and attempt to provide a port for all of the Windows apps that currently exist. In fact, Windows RT is probably going to be more like Windows Phone than anything else.

Good. I hope this sort of thing continues so everyone switches to linux/android.

The average users doesn't know about any of this though and they won't care either. If it works they stick to it unless someone specifically teaches them about Linux.

It won't get more people to switch. People get people to switch not lawsuits or API blocking that average users have no idea about.

So far as ARM based, I think more people know what a droid is than a windows phone. More tablets and mobile devices are android based. Sad this hasn't happened on pc's.

That won't last for long after there are dozens of Windows phones on display in VZ and ATT stores and at places like Best Buy and Fry's.
