"There is no evidence, nor has it been proven that anything
Microsoft has done has actually prevented competition,
Apart from the 1999 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA finding of fact :-
80. Executives at Microsoft received confirmation in early May
1995 that Netscape was developing a version of Navigator to
run on Windows 95, which was due to be released in a couple of
months. Microsoft's senior executives understood that if they
could prevent this version of Navigator from presenting
alternatives to the Internet-related APIs in Windows 95, the
technologies branded as Navigator would cease to present an
alternative platform to developers.
We all know what happened to Netscape don't we ?
even if their actions have been found to be
anti-competitive." - Erik Funkenbusch
Wow, I missed that one!

Civil Action No. 98-1233 (CKK)
STATE OF NEW YORK, et al., Plaintiffs v. MICROSOFT CORPORATION,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
[quote] It bears repeating that the monopoly in this case was not
found to have been illegally acquired, see United States v.
Microsoft, 56 F.3d 1448, 1452 (D.C. Cir. 1995),24 but only to
have been illegally maintained. [/quote]
