I'm not going to enter into the general "does Window suck or not"
debate, but I'd like to correct misstatements like this one.

The government did NOT rule, nor did any court say that any antitrust
laws were violated.

You are free to form your own opinion of whether or not any such
misdeed actually occured, but you shouldn't misrepresent the
government and courts (even though they may misrepresent you!)  ;-)
