Macs are popular as a Windows alternative in the US where Apple's brainwash
campaign is extensive and Apple shops exist. In the rest of the world, Linux
is bigger than Apple. In developing countries, Linux is /far/ bigger than

"Monopoly raises two classes of problems for a free society. First, the
existence of monopoly means a limitation on voluntary exchange through a
reduction in the alternatives available to individuals. Second, the existence
of monopoly raises the issue of “social responsibility”, as it has come to be
called, of the monopolist."
