Sure, I was just pointing out that your *product* doesn't necessarily have 
to be superior for you to appear a "better" option to your customers.

What exactly has MS done that is illegal?  It seems to me their "crimes" (in 
the eyes of the EU) are not sharing enough source code with competitors, 
including their browser software with their OS, and including a media player 
with their OS.  If that's the worst they've done, then sorry but they don't 
lose my respect for that.

I assume that also if Google (or any other company) manages to get the 
majority of the desktop OS market then they will also be deemed to be acting 
illegally by including a browser, media player, minesweeper or whatever?
