>If I had not received an education in economics in business school,then I might feel more comfortable playing fast and loose with a pop cultural understanding of monopoly. But since I did, I don't.< Jon, To my (pop-culture) understanding, it is not illegal to be a monopoly -- so long as you don't engage in anti-competitive practices. Nor is it illegal to engage in anti-competitive practices -- so long as you're not a monopoly. DOJ testimony to date, appears to show MSFT guilty of both. What am I missing? And to get back to the original point of my query, (assuming the DOJ proves the above to the judge's satisfaction) what are the likely remedies and how might each affect Apple and its stock price? My favorite so far is treble damages ... :)
