usvms.gpo.gov Here are the "Conclusions of Law". By narrowly enough defining any market, there is obviously a monopoly. Indeed, by narrow-enough definition, every transaction is a transient monopoly. 10 gas stations on a street still leaves a monopoly if the 'selling of gasoline within 100 metres of a business' is the definition of the market. Instead of defining the relevant monopoly as 'operating systems which run on a particular Intel chip' the definition, 'systems to manipulate bits and bytes' would more reasonably be used. Or even 'means of storage and communication of information'. There is obviously no monopoly, even in the absurdly narrow context of Intel chips. Sun and the other whiners need to forget their nonsense and get back to work. Mqurice
