MSFT's 95% market share for OS on PCs meets anyone's definition of a monopoly. Now, having a monopoly in and of itself is not wrong. However, using one's dominant position to destroy others from developing and selling new products that might undermine the monopolist's position is against the law. It's not complicated. MSFT saw Netscape's browser as a threat to Windows and used its power in the Windows market to destroy Netscape's core business of developing browsers.

Read "Who's Afraid of Microsoft" in the March issue of "Wired" if you would like an inside look at how MSFT competitors feel. Also a read through "The New New Thing" by Michael Lewis if you would like to hear how Jim Clark, one of MSFT's victims, feels.

Emotional arguments are easy, when you throw in facts things get a little more difficult.<g>
