"In other words, Microsoft enjoys monopoly power in the relevant market..." Judge T. P. Jackson

412. Most harmful of all is the message that Microsoft?s actions have conveyed to
every enterprise with the potential to innovate in the computer industry. Through its conduct
toward Netscape, IBM, Compaq, Intel, and others, Microsoft has demonstrated that it will use its
prodigious market power and immense profits to harm any firm that insists on pursuing
initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft?s core products. Microsoft?s
past success in hurting such companies and stifling innovation deters investment in technologies
and businesses that exhibit the potential to threaten Microsoft. The ultimate result is that some
innovations that would truly benefit consumers never occur for the sole reason that they do not
coincide with Microsoft?s self-interest.
