Actually, when I sent this, it was 3:42 PM in my time zone (GMT+1). But I didn't bother to wait.

I know. So what?
And why "monopoly"? Nowadays when Apple bundles so many full-fledged apps with their OS, nobody goes around screaming "Monopoly, monopoly!", but when Microsoft did this for the first time with IE, it was controversial. Also, compare Command-Tab with Alt+Tab. Which OS had it first? Not to start a flame war, but that's what I think about Apple vs. MS.
