I'm not saying that MSFT isn't or wasn't a threat to anyone. They clearly were and are. MSFT broke the law and must pay the price. My only argument is that a cash penalty, and a huge one at that, is better than either a breakup or other DOJ monitoring of future products. No, because it does nothing to "correct" the alleged problem. If you believe that MSFT had and has a monopoly then what good is a fine? If you don't believe they had and have a monopoly then what good was this trial?
