TP - I followed the trial pretty closely, and I did not see any evidence of any coercive contracts, or other pressure, brought to bear to "force" customers to buy MSFT products. Even the questionable contracts were in the form of incentives, which the customer could choose to engage in or not.

There has been a lot of discussion on this thread about coercive MSFT practices but no evidence, and none in the extensive work by the DOJ either. Do you have personal experience to support your ideas?
