Sun makes Java. Java is an internet product.
Netscape was an internet company. Mosaic is an internet product.
Aol is an internet company.
Oracle doesn't make a pc data base, they make an Internet database.
THE RELEVANT MARKET IS THE INTERNET.
The relevant market is not PART of the internet. MSFT forced Netcape to give away their browser for free.
What is the sound of one hand clapping? You need to control both the server hardware, and the server software and the pc hardware and the pc software.

then watch all the private lawsuits, based on the facts and the law.
Bring 'em on, IF anyone's been damaged at the expense of the consumer, then heaven love 'em, they have a right to be compensated, that's what private litigation is for.
With all apologies to Dave Sam and Janis, Big Brother should stay with The Holding Company.
