tt, first of all msft has bought or taken from somewhere else most of what they sell. most innovative? not even. their os is a defacto monopoly. let me give you an example. if i took over 100% of the oil supply i would have a defacto monopoly. I WOULDN'T FORCE YOU TO BUY MY GAS! YOU COULD WALK EVERYWHERE YOU GO. THAT IS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE. but a painful one. just like using linux is a painful alternative for the VAST MAJORITY of os users now. clearly, very clearly, msft had their cross hairs on netscape and used their defacto monopoly os to attact them. that, my friend, is illegal. being a monopoly isn't. using monopoly status to beat back competition is illegal. msft got what they deserve and i suspect much worse is coming down the pipe.
