Monopoly doesn't always mean 100% of the market. They're still the leader by far in desktop operating systems, and pretty much everyone who has a computer as work has an Office license allocated to them.

    No but a monopoly also doesn't mean a majority market share, or being so much better than the competition that everyone chooses you.
