I don't know anything for a fact. I was simply demonstrating how it can be illegal to do something in this society even if one's goals aren't realized. Whether or not Microsoft is breaking the law is not known at this point. As for your other questions, in anti-trust, free things can certainly hurt consumers in the long run by destroying competition. That's what John Rockerfeller did with Standard Oil. Every time you hear a complaint about some other country "dumping" exports into our country, the claim is that our consumers get hurt in the long run by desroying local companies. Anyway, none of this has anything to do with the DOJ's current case against Microsoft. It may have bearing on future DOJ cases, however.
