This weeks Economist has a wonderful summary of how Jackson's findings have turned the 'natural monopoly' argument back at itself.

If Microsoft has a natural monopoly, then it is not efficient to compete against it. Almost by definition, if something comes along and knocks off a natural monopoly, then the monopoly is no longer 'natural.'

Microsoft took actions against companies which presented threats to its monopoly. Those actions were predatory and simultaneously showed that even if Microsoft's monopoly was 'natural' at one point, it was no longer so.
