Hmm, that all must have happened in an alternate universe, because the case against Microsoft was certainly not an open and shut case, and the court of appeals overturned the ridiculous rulings of Jackson, who routinely violated the code of conduct for judges. The central issue of the case, that bundling a browser with the OS was deemed absurd by even other OS companies that were doing the exact same thing. Microsoft was never found to have engaged in monopolistic behavior, nor, by any definition of the word, does it qualify as a monopoly. Achieving a substantial market share, does not meet the definition of a monopoly. No doubt Apple, if they decided to go into the OS business, could achieve a substantial market share as well. It's rather ironic that if you go to Fry's and purchase a legal copy of OS-X, you are actually forbidden from using it on non-Apple hardware. If you purchase a legal copy of Windows 7 you can install it on any hardware you please.
