What?? (Score 1)

The have been playing the schollyard bully for years now, but none of the things they have done are illegal. Even Jackson agreed with that.

I beg to differ. What exactly did you read? Can you cite a source? Jackson did say that they did something illegal. He said it in Findings of Fact (in the Microsoft Antitrust Trial) and in Conclusions of Law.

Microsoft violated the Sherman Antitrust Act on two counts. It obtained and protected a monopoly using "anti-competetive" and "predatory" tactics. (It singled out the distribution of other products rather than improving its own products.)

It also "tied" products - required that you purchase one product if you want another. Specifically, it required that Windows always be sold with Internet Explorer on the desktop. It enforced this by bartering heavily enough with PC distributers to demonstrate that the motivation was to preserve a monopoly rather than to obtain revenue (especially since MS isn't making money off of IE).

That is defined as breaking the law.
