Sal, if you wanted something about antitrust law, you should have said so. I got confused by the "in legal terms, but not referring to copyright law" and read it as not in legal terms. Sorry.

I don't pretend to be an expert on the law, remember I'm the naive high school civics guy. Offhand, I'd say that Microsoft trying to subvert Java would come under the broad Sherman prohibition on using monopoly/dominance/hegemony in one area to establish dominance in another area. Leveraging Windows to kill or dominate the market for the "Java platform". But as everyone except Reggie seems to say, it's a complex area of the law, who knows what the precise argument would be. As I said, at this stage I give Microsoft credit for at least being relatively honest about their hostile intent, which wasn't the case before this summer.

Cheers, Dan.
