The FOF does not recognize several facts. For one, it narrowly characterizes the OS as software that controls Intel-based (a specific name brand??!!!) processors. That is ridiculous, but it has to be worded in such a fashion as to effectively attack MSFT. You do realize that this opens the floodgates for actions against SUN on SPARC-based processors and Apple on Motorola PowerPC-based processors. Both of which have a higher market share and more aggressive tendencies on their respective platforms than MSFT. The Judge also mischaracterizes the market for software, as I described in my first volley of posts, in particular mischaracterizing the abilities, growth and market share of Java, Linux, and WAN-based apps. If these were cast in a more accurate light, it would be much more difficult to find MSFT a monopoly and even more difficult to find that if they were a monopoly, they abused that position.
