What I'm saying is this. Whether ittruly is a monopoly or not is immaterial; the fact that it's perceived as one cripples Microsoft's abilities to compete in certain aspects.
Yep, and that's why the DoJ ever bothered with the anti-trust suit.
Even though it was too late to do anything about the outcome of the browser wars, at least it put MS on notice for the future. And arguably it saved Apple, because the agreement where MS invested in Apple and committed to Mac Office only came about because MS needed Apple as a plausible competitor in the anti-trust case.
