The point of the article is that if MSFT is forced to lower prices it will no longer have incentive to improve or even market IE. You seem to be arguing that IE was anticompetitive. You'll get no argument from me. MSFT gives IE away for free. In fact, MSFT paid AAPL handsomely to have IE bundled as the default browser with every Mac. They PAY to do this so that they can monopolize the web client market, so that they can control web standards, so that they can control web content, so that they can monopolize web servers, so that they can monopolize eCommerce, so that they can monopolize commerce. The courts see this, and so do those nine states who have not yet cashed their MSFT bribery checks and gone home. Dave
