Re: Bundling and operating systems

Ethical,

Why don't you read the two "Bill Gates" stories about the bundling of IE
and networking technologies and explain to everyone why that case is not
a typical one today.

Go ahead. Try to convince someone who has a copy of IE 5 today, that the
case of harm to them has not been illustrated.

Go ahead. Try to convince someone today that wants to try out Linux with
their network, that the case of harm to them has not been illustrated.

I have proven that even Bill Gates is harmed by bundling.

If Bill Gates suffers harm because of that act, what makes you think you
are not?

What makes you think everyone is not harmed?

If you can read English, you could start by reading the findings of
facts.  Obviously the judge understands how consumers are harmed.

You claim to not understand it.
