Well, that's quite a subjective opinion -- and somewhat like comparing apples and oranges. You're talking about after the fact and leveraging a monopoly in the marketplace rather than furthering one with an acquisition. While Microsoft did only get a wrap on the wrist in terms of the DOJ -- in some cases were not allowed to acquire certain companies. Take Intuit for instance in the personal finance space that was stopped in 1995. My guess is this ends up like PeopleSoft / Oracle. A fight will be put up, but in the end Microsoft will prevail.
