I just don't get how the courts find them guilty of being anti competitive. They have made a quality product which has become mainstream and now they are getting screwed over for their success? Fair enough, it will benefit the end user to introduce more competition but how is it fair on Mircosoft to make them tear apart their software to make it easier for competitors to make smaller programs to challenge them. Good for the consumer in the long run because it will prevent a total monopoly, but how can you say its fair to penalise someone for being the best. Imagine someone made a passenger plane that flew 10 times the speed of a normal airbus but cost the same for a ticket. Would they tell them they aren't allowed to go that fast cos its anticompetitive? ..rediculous I have to agree. I just don’t get how the courts find them guilty of being anti competitive.
