The judge's findings are clear that there is no crime in being a monopoly. It is what you do as a monopoly that can be a crime. Microsoft has run other companies out of business for years through questionable practices. DR-DOS, Word-Perfect, Paradox, Borland Compilers and Stacker to name a few. What makes the case different now is the clarity. All of those other products competed from the start with a Microsoft product and it could not be proven that it was the anti-competitive behavior which caused their demise. With Netscape there was a clear innovator with a commanding market presence and no competing Microsoft product. The actions by the Microsoft team were accordingly very clear and directed. Are things just as clear to you now? TIA Thunder
