Firefox Founders: "We want to make money..." 10190

Did any OEM company officer or senior manager offer to testify to any such dislike, Rick? The answer is no. Prior to the DOJ trial, however, 20 or so CEOs from various interested companies such as Dell and Compaq and HP signed an endorsement of Microsoft, though. The facts of the matter are that the OEMs do not want the OSS stuff, Rick. They want to keep things the way they are. consumers

Tell that to Delta, United, American! LOL!!!

Well, start with desktop OS platform software, Rick! How about image manipulation software on Apple computers? How about personal financial software on PCs? How about Corvettes?

What you miss is the concepts of marketing, Rick. You are not very well educated in these things, obviously, else you wouldn't have such silly ideas.

It is hard to explain things to those who have no basic understanding of underlying concepts, Rick. Surely you must know that if you can claim to be a teacher. There is actually no such thing as a compebreastive market in the sense that you seem to be defining. There are groups of consumers whom you have educated to believe that your product is their best choice for the need that they have. That is your niche and that is your market.

Your niche may be small or large and your niche may be growing or shrinking, but you are the only supplier in that niche. Want you obviously want to do is grow your market by finding more prospective consumers that you can convince to buy your product and join your niche. That may be a case of taking some other company's customer who is not so well informed about your more suitable product and educating them as to its benefits or it may be finding someone who previously had not purchased anything because it was not affordable and demonstrating how they can afford to purchase your product. It is a consumer education process, pure and simple, Rick.

Monopolies are not illegal, Rick.

Any examples?
