So formulated, this is much more than an argument about judicial competence to engage in the
kind of regulation of software design that the D.C. Circuit was talking about. It suggests that no
governmental body has the competence, and, if we value a free society, no government body
should be allowed, to make this kind of choice by decree, at least in the absence of proof that
Microsoft's tendered technical justification of, and proof of consumer preference for, integration is
a sham.

The problem with this statement is that since there is no consumer advantage to integration, there can be no consumer preference for it. What some consumers have a preference for is bundling the browser, not integration.
