Sal, if I shot at you and only wounded you, do I get off? What about if I miss you entirely?

Furthermore, the whole argument about damage to Netscape misses the point. The damage to Netscape was for a lower purpose-- preservation of Microsoft's platform monopoly. That is, it's probably OK in general to hurt a company, but you can't hurt a company for the purposes of preserving your monopoly.
That's why the Office/Apple stuff is relevant. Nobody cares if Office is a monopoly, the only question is did Microsoft try to get Apple to hurt Netscape and Sun-- threatening to withdraw a profitable product which would damage Apple coupled with all those MSFT emails is evidence that Microsoft was trying to hurt Netscape and Sun in order to preserve their platform monopoly

It all comes down to preserving a monopoly.
