Note the judge never says that MSFT is a monopoly. He states that "Microsoft enjoys monopoly power".

Umm... A company that "enjoys monopoly power" is a monopoly.

"Microsoft enjoys so much power in the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems that if it wished to exercise this power solely in terms of price, it could charge a price for Windows substantially above that which could be charged in a competitive market. ...[33]

"Viewed together, three main facts indicate that Microsoft enjoys monopoly power. First, Microsoft?s share of the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems is extremely large and stable. Second, Microsoft?s dominant market share is protected by a high barrier to entry. Third, and largely as a result of that barrier, Microsoft?s customers lack a commercially viable alternative to Windows." [34]

That's a monopoly.
