Many people seem to forget or intentionally ignore the following:

1- Microsoft uses contract tying: It forces OEMs to bundle and install IE with their OS. This is illegal. Pure and simple.

2- If Microsoft was so sure its products are superior or nearly as competitive as other companies' equivalent products, they wouldn't be giving away products and/or selling them at a deep discount, and they wouldn't be concerned about competition! Could it be any clearer than this?? Examples IE, IIS, SQL server. I mean, like, \ DUH.

3- By looking at Microsoft's internal documents, THEY ADDRESS the fact that will use and leverage their OS monopoly to plorifirate the use of their inferior IE. Also, thier internal documents show how they plan(ned) to stifle and fragment JAVA. Plenty or URLs on the web to read on that. What more evidence would a reasonable thinking man need!! Such documents are used in the DOJ case against them.

4- Read 1,2, and 3 again, and slowly. The matter is simple.
