Microsoft has violated the rules and will have to answer for it. Correction: You think that Microsoft has violated the rules. The DOJ also thinks that Microsoft has violated the rules.

Well I have news: Dell doesn't offer a PC without the OS preloaded, and as a private store, they are not obligated to sell a PC preloaded with something that they don't sell. Perhaps your idea of a good government-mandated solution is to require Dell Computer to offer PCs with any software of your choosing preloaded? Oh I know: Let's have OS quotas.
