Inferior product quality produced by a monopoly who is excluding competitors from the marketplace harms consumers by locking out the competition. This keeps prices high (which they are) and forces consumers to use lousy products. That's illegal. That's what used to happen in Russia when it practiced socialism. I can't imagine that a capitalist supporter like you would like that here in America, right David???? You can't compare M$FT w/AAPL because AAPL makes its own hardware. M$FT benefits from cheaper hardware because the PC spec is in the public domain. If M$FT did NOT own DOS/Windows. If instead DOS/Windows was also in the public domain, along w/the hardware, I don't see a reason for anti-trust action against them, regardless of their aggressiveness and their crummy software.
