I don't think it's true that Windows is a monopoly anymore. You could always get a mac. Most people I know use macs, in fact. I still use Windows but I'm in the minority. I tried going to Linux earlier but I still feel Windows has smoother performance.

Windows is 60-70% of US PC usage. Mac is 20-25%.

Globally, it's even more lopsided with Windows at about 75% and Mac at about 15%.

Hard to say Windows isn't a monopoly.

The usage percentage doesn't really matter so much as how they got to that % percentage.
