"However, I believe I read that the judge commented copyright was not a defense to the antitrust claims." I believe I read that also. So, I wonder how that ties in with his absurd comparison of MSFT and Standard Oil? Standard Oil was selling a commodity, while MSFT is selling a copyrighted product. For the judge to say that copyrights are invalid for companies deemed to be a monopoly is equally absurd, and Microsoft should stand firm for their rights to their intellectual property. This Judge Jackson's thought processes get curiouser and curiouser. All this talk of "illegal tying" is dumb and dumber: Is the Judge next going to say that MSFT has to strip out the internet capabilities of Windows 2000, in order to give a lift to Linux's prospects? This trial as turned into little more than a corporate daycare center.
