windows became a monolith because of sabotage. and then! the network effect. microsoft is actively trying to sabotage linux, and they've got internal documents stating that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents (the actual link is not loading)
microsoft doing monopolistic anticompetitive FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) practices dates back at least to 1992: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code (yeah... i found out about this from a youtube video.....)
