Gilette gives their razors away so you will buy their blades. Gilette is neither a monopoly nor is there barriers to competition in their market. The consent decree and the bundling issue only applies to separate products, not integrated functions. IE is an integrated function. So says MSFT. They also say that a ham sandwich can be included and it would not violate the consent decree. Your statement is merely spitting out the MSFT line rather than arguing the facts, which seem to trouble you so. The nature of capitalism is competition. As a result there will be winners and losers. Where is there real competition to MSFT? Where is the Pepsi to MSFT's Coke? Because of MSFT's leveraging their monopoly, it is nearly impossible for anyone to enter into competition at the stage of the game that NSCP did and "win".
