Microsoft is now legal??

Legal business tactics? Isn't settlement of the antitrust suit equivalent to admitting violation of US law?

As to whether illegally squelching competition and thereby reducing public welfare by bundling of products, and illegally using market power to threaten OEMs with higher license fees if they promote competing OSes, and flagrantly lying about it all in court, is comparable to selling illegal addictive substances... It's arguable, and I too would bet on the defense here.

This is clearly a power/intimidation tactic, and looks likely to blow up in their faces. Thanks Microsoft!
