Now I know that Netscape had the browser before MSFT did, but MSFT was still a large established player in the software design/manufacturing/selling/marketing arena. The deck was tilted in MSFT's favor, but not necessarily unfairly so, except they were big. But that's not against the law, to be big. Yes, MSFT had some major advantages over NSCP from the get-go. But I believe that some of the ways in which they used their bigness are illegal for them to do, given their monopoly status, and it is this type of behavior that has landed them in the situation in which they currently find themselves.
