Expert questions value of Microsoft integration

So here we finally have an attempt, however weak, by the government to show how Microsoft's anticompetitive technical decisions harm consumers.

Basically, this says that some corporations value the flexibility of being able to switch or not implement browsers. To which I say, "So what."

Microsoft says the study is biased. Like, Duh! As if the government wasn't going to put on evidence that is biased, and as if Microsoft's evidence, when we get to it, won't be equally biased -- about how every home Joe-PC user who ever lived just *LOVES* not having to pay for and install a separate browser. ;)

So some consumers win and some consumers lose -- Which is very interesting, but irrelevant.

I say: Show me the deadweight loss.
