Does Microsoft's "oppressive thumb" demand a "divestiture"? <<< from Judge Jackson's finding of facts... While the evidence does not prove that they (i.e. competitive efforts) would have succeeded absent Microsoft's actions, it does reveal that Microsoft placed an oppressive thumb on the scale of competitive fortune, thereby effectively guaranteeing its continued dominance in the relevant market. More broadly, Microsoft's anticompetitive actions trammeled the competitive process through which the computer software industry generally stimulates innovation and conduces to the optimum benefit of consumers.>> *************** What's the judge going to dish out for a remedy? If this sticks, who else is guilty?
