As I understand it, monopolies aren't illegal. How you use one could be. The gov't may or may not have a case, based on the validity of their claims of how Microsoft illegally used such power. This is what I'm told however, and I can't be certain that it is true.

Chuck: *2. MSFT clearly has a monopoly in the OS market* I present to you, in technicolor: sun.com be.com suse.com freebsd.org sco.com apple.com www-4.ibm.com The Oxford American Dictionary defines monopoly as ``exclusive possession of the trade in some commodity.' The commodity here is the OS, and clearly there is no monopoly, unless of course you've redefined the prefix mono to mean the exact same thing as poly which gives us polypoly. Want a cracker? Scott
