Did the Judge include a finding that Microsoft was a "natural monopoly?" I didn't see such a finding. In fact, a search of the findings of fact revealed only 3 instances of the string "natural" and none of them had anything to do with natural monopolies. If Microsoft is not a natural monopoly, why consider it to be one, or analyze the case in those terms? Even telephone and electric power utilities are no longer necessarily considered natural monopolies, so why would X86 operating systems be one unless found to be so after a presentation of evidence?

I think all this "natural monopoly" stuff is a red herring to divert attention from the real issues.

JMHO, and not a legal opinion.
