I was looking at the Reboot site and it doesn't make it clear but what are you favouring to replace the the current wintel monopoly with? I certainly don't want to go back to the old system of having many small companies each trying to trap customers in with their own small monopolies like the computer market of the 80's and early 90's.
Even now it hurts to remember the vendor lockin across the entire market back then which ironically is what caused Microsoft and Intel to become the dominant vendors in such large parts of the market.
