Karim,

It is hard to argue that Microsoft's buying of WRS or 3Com is a monopolistic act. Microsoft can claim buying 3Com as an entrance into the networking market. The embedded market has been highly segmented. Even our favorite, WRS, doesn't own a major portion of it. Microsoft can also argue that because of the nature of the embedded market, one can never be a monopoly.

I don't see the court or the DOJ playing a major role, but rather, the industry. Intel will bit against anyone for WRS, and Nokia will bit against anyone for 3Com.
