The monopoly game

Big companies are unpopular mainly because they establish monopolies. Microsoft was quite unpopular in the nineties with competition always whining that they did not stand a chance of survival. But if we take a moment we realize that Microsoft stayed at the top because it was able to come up with competitive products that always carved a market for itself. The Nineties were easy because companies had Microsoft to blame till Google happened. Microsoft to date has not been able to come up with a search engine that can truly compete and hence loses its lead. Technology always wins and whining helps little is a lesson to learn.
