Your argument doesn't hold water. California's power costs are in the billions of dollars. By contrast, the cost of the Microsoft case, whose successful prosecution would be worth billions to Californian businesses AND consumers over the next few years, is miniscule. And as I have said before, YES, you are right that this is in fact a case about protecting competitors. That's a big part of antitrust law. Protecting competitors from illegal monopoly maintenance protects competition, and competition is good for the consumer (despite those here who insist inanely that protecting competition, hereby strengthening capitalism, is somehow "communist," which doesn't speak well of the quality of our education system).
