Microsoft just seem to buy and buy more and more firms.

Im confused though, because the competition commission says they cant own more than 25% of the market, but they own so much I would say they own MUCH MUCH MORE than that.

btw im still a newbie, so hi guys

I dont really care who they buy as long as they provide customer support for whatever hardware/software sold by said company.
