Re: So, the DOJ's idea is when you sell a car, you better not sell the tires together with the body. Customers should buy the tires separately from a tire manufacturers.

That's one way to look at it. The DOJ's answer might be that no car company owns 90% of any major part of the car industry, while Microsoft does own 90% of the most important part of the software industry, the OS.
