Sorry, but people will disagree. The alleged "harms" to the consumer were from the start entirely theoretical, while the loudest complainers were invariably MSFT competitors (SUNW being one of the loudest complainers). What is not theoretical is that consumers have benefited greatly from the proliferation of PCs and the Internet over the past decade and that each year you pay less to get more.

What is also not theoretical is that if MSFT, like any technology company, was forced to stand still for a couple of years they'd become irrelevant in the market. Of course, that was the game plan all along, but it failed. MSFT's competitors felt they'd get a better deal in the courtroom than the market. They need to stop whining and go back to the market. That's the way capitalism works.
