So you are saying it doesn't let the JVM interface? I think you are wrong.

Or are you saying because it has no JVM out of the box, it doesn't let Java applets interface out of the box? In that case, if I write a Linux app and it doesn't work in XP do I get my $1B?

"You missed the point. It's a monopoly and as a monopoly , the monopolist has the responsibility to let other software interface with monopolistic OS's"

They do. You can download it and run it today because it can interface with the OS.

This includes MSFT's "manufactured" barriers to software interfacing (where no barrier should exist if properly designed by the monopolist). The Courts have been going to school on MSFT's antics and they (the courts) will get it right in the near future IMHO.
