And if Google dropped nuclear weapons on China, I'm sure they could get in trouble. See, I can make up "what if" scenarios too. You're getting ahead of the facts of this case.

Given the evidence that many long-employed software developers fail to pass your test, you can't figure out why companies have been paying them all these years rather than wondering how you can improve your interview process to lower the number of false negatives.
that these "cutting-edge skills" that employers always complain are so hard to find in job candidates are always left undefined? That's because if they name them they'll receive thousands of resumes from unemployed software developers who already have those skills.
So Bill Joy designs software like a Mechanical Engineer. That explains a lot.
I think you're making up antitrust law as you go along. If it were an antitrust issue whenever a company makes allegations against another company, half the companies would be guilty of it.
You mean you can't use a server OS to run desktop applications and you can't use a desktop OS as a server?
You mean Apple didn't make any laptops?
Unlike Joe, CEOs could put policies in place to diminish Crony practices.
Being "well-connected" is the reason that CEOs are grossly overpaid to the determent of their companies and their shareholders.
Cronyism also includes creating a job specifically for a buddy.
This action raised the average executive IQ at both companies!
"Antitrust is a way for competitors to use the government to interfere with your business." "We were being evil and wrong and got into trouble for it."
Well, in MS's case the first statement is a fact, the second an opinion.
Any comparison between MS's "monopoly" and that of Standard Oil's or AT&T's is remote at best. No specially crafted "market" definition was required for the latter companies to be considered a monopoly like MS's monopoly on "desktop operating systems".
"Once again Microsoft chooses to litigate instead of innovate."
A lesson they learned from Sun, IBM, Oracle, AOL and the other competitors who lobbied for the antitrust action against them.
"Antitrust is not about your competitors complaining about you. Antitrust is when you are so economically powerful that you can destroy the free market and create a situation in which you economically destroy anybody who competes with you."
And yet MS's antitrust problems stemmed exactly from competitors complaining about them.
Neutrinos have bad breadth.
