John: If I buy your argument that since IE is free, it is not a tying issue, then it would seem that one could conclude that what Microsoft is actually doing is "dumping" IE. They are selling the product at below their cost because they are giving it away. The product obviously costs Microsoft money to make. Certainly, supplying IE at below cost is to the detriment of their primary competitor. And, certainly, Microsoft used this tactic to attempt to annihilate their primary competitor. Didn't Mexico just today order Warner-Lambert to stop selling chewing gum below their cost and say they were using the tactic to destroy the competition? How is what Microsoft is doing with IE pricing so different than selling chewing gum below cost? Doug
