well, i do agree with
But, what have they done to get succesfull - if Microsoft is being punished for trying to reach the top then shouldn't most buisness be in court as well ? a buisness is a buisness - goal = to make alot of money and be as successful as possible....So why be punished because someone else has not be able to create a competive product.
Their argument is
essentially that they shouldn't be penalized for becoming successful in a
marketplace."

An anonymous reader writes "News.com has an article on Microsoft's
upcoming [0]appeal of the EU antitrust decision. Their argument is
essentially that they shouldn't be penalized for becoming successful in a
marketplace." From the article: "Microsoft relies on the fact that its
communication protocols are technologically innovative and are covered by
intellectual-property rights ... [the company] had designed its Windows
server operating systems from the outset to interoperate with
non-Microsoft server operating systems"
