<So, here's Boulton, basically admitting that, if you enact the restrictions on Microsoft's behavior that he says earlier in the report would not harm Microsoft's legitimate interests (with all of the attendant costs those restrictions would impose), there is no guarantee that the benefits of competition in the OS market will accrue.

I don't know . . . I think the government may have some problems.>

This is what I was trying to say since the beginning. The DOJ could have an outright win, but short of them forcing MSFT to sponsor another company's product (which was actually suggested but would probably be rejected by the market) no significant change will ensue over the moderate horizon. MSFT is where it is because management executes well. It is the market that must bring them down, not bureacrats and courts.
