- I am writing a paper on anti-compettive practices in the computer
- industry. Specifically, I am examining the practice of "bundling"
- an operating system with the sale of a new personal computer.
- Does anyone have install-base numbers (or market share percentages)
- for Windows vs. OS/2?
- I am also examining the practice of selling a "suite" of programs
- (eg. Lotus SmartSuite, Microsoft Office) and its effects on the
- marketplace. Does anyone have any good anti-trust points to add with
- respect to these (or other) tied selling practices?

- Please reply by e-mail. Thank you. Elliott Simcoe
