Why are Apple's allegations about Microsoft "threatening" to discontinue Office For Mac considered illegal?

I also disagree with people saying that Microsoft Office is a monopolistic product. Sure, Office has something like 95% marketshare, but there are several serious competitors out there with good products and stable financial backing. Just as a point of reference, I would say that it would be a lot easier to argue that Windows9x has a monopoly position.

Not to mention that economically, it can probably be proven that it's not in Microsoft's best financial interests to continue supporting Macintosh. (Of course, it's also not in Microsoft's best strategic/DOJ interests if Apple died.)
