[News] Does Novell Make Microsoft a Horizontal Monopoly?

A Question for the armchair lawyers

,----[ Quote ]
| Such a monopoly is known as a horizontal monopoly. A magazine
| publishing firm, for example, might publish many different
| magazines on many different subjects, but it would still be
| considered to engage in monopolistic practices if the intent
| of doing this was to control the entire magazine-reader market,
| and prevent the emergence of competitors. (Wikipedia)

This reminds me of Microsoft placing the "Get the Facts" campaign in Google
searches for 'linux'.

| It's worth remembering that there is a court case about these very
| issues, involving a set of anti-Linux lawsuits brought by SCO Corp...
| Three years and endless depositions later, there still isn't a
| single credible example of an IP problem with Linux.
