>> The above is exactly the argument used by the EU in their present attack on MSFT. Who is left out in the description above? The consumer. Who doesn't give a damn about who makes the product or how they sell it, they just want the best deal they can get.

But if competition is allowed to be driven out, the consumer suffers. One can argue about how MUCH he suffers, but it is reasonable to have some protection in place against predatory pricing and other efforts to drive out competition. IMO.
