Paul re <<Standard Oil and Microsoft are not even close>>

I did not say they were. I was giving an example as to why the Sherman Anti Trust Law is there and how it is designed to protect consumers. I just gave the example of how standard oil could start selling sub par car engines because it had the monopoly in the supply of oil.

Paul, that happened here. Netscape was clearly a better product, but people started to use explorer because MSFT leveraged its monopoly in the separate market of OS.
