Of course they were proven. Those were things directly in their contracts with computer manufacturers. And don't forget what they were trying to do with MSN by delivering that on the desktop and not permitting computer manufacturers to remove it in favor of the more popular AOL or any other service. These terms were clearly predatory and inimical to the interests of other competitors. This is not gaining market share through innovation as I hear some trying to portray, it is domination through predatory contracting with the OEM computer makers. If they didn't comply what was Dell or Compaq to do? Not ship computers? It is this behaviour that I think is what Judge Penfield Jackson has found. It is this arrogance that is likely to end in their being broken apart. Given Gates and Ballmer's continued aggressive stance, I think it is the best course. I somehow think that they can not be trusted to live up to the terms of any consent decree involving business practices as IBM has for so many years.
