Why do Microsoft and Google dominate their market?

Microsoft's success is largely contributed to their ability to market their products in an effective manner, as well as the many contractual agreements that they have with various manufacturers that reduce the cost to the manufacturer (and ultimately the consumer) in exchange for loyalty from the manufacturer. This means that Microsoft locks in vendors so they cannot sell computers running other operating systems in exchange for offering volume discounts for their operating system and/or software. They also hold a large number of patents that allow them a competitive market advantage, and have one of the largest groups of developers of any company worldwide, so they can have many more programs written in a far shorter time than a smaller company.
