Re: "In the case of M$FT, the consumer has been harmed by inferior product quality at a price that is artificially high."

I am not sure about you but I as a consumer had an opportunity to purchase other products but chose MSFT's most of the time. I know many other consumers who did the same. Our decisions had nothing to do with force, superior or inferior product quality. Most of it had to do with ease of use, convenience, comfort, affordability and availability.

For instance my first computer was a Dell Dimension however I did not choose to have MS-OFFICE but rather Wordperfect suite without additional charge.

What is confusing to me is when the more technically advanced and informed poster's claim that MSFT's products are inferior as if that should be the reason the DOJ should destroy MSFT. It sounds like the maker's of Rolls Royce complaining to some official authority to destroy Ford or GM cause they have inferior product quality and sell more of em! It just doesn't make too much sense to me.
