"The fact that the features don't work as advertised and you could drive a tractor-trailer" Everything on the OS box is included and does what I want it to. If bugs were an antitrust crime, every software company would be a violator. Your admitting that alternative products exist show that there is no monopoly. And as a consumer, I've been more harmed by a bug in Netscape than by any bug in Internet Explorer. If Microsoft advertised that Windows 2000 did something, and then it didn't, everyone would get a refund, and this would be the highlight of the DOJ case. Not the case. There is no reason to every buy a MS upgrade unless it has something new in it that you want. Where's the forcing to buy their products? Since alternative OSs exist, and since ALL software contains bugs, where is the monopoly and where are the antitrust violations?
