It's quite obvious how the public can be damaged by one company
strongarming others into accepting a wide range of products, and denying
the public choice and fair competition.
The realities of business are that if Dell does not play ball, it folds
as a company and goes bankrupt.
Investigate the realities of Extortion which is a fair analogy to this
aspect of anti-trust law.
Since by your statement, there should not be extortion protection for
the public either in criminal law,as everyone has a 'choice' not to be
strongarmed or intimidated into any action.

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the
citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a
double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the
mind. And when the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the
leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather
the citizenry infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up
all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For
this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."- Julius Caesar

You mean it is using the influence it gained by being a market leader.
Why
is this illegal? If you (Dell) don't like it you don't have to do
business
with MS. Maybe it means you lose money because your customers want MS.
So
what. No one said that standing up for your principals would be easy.
You
have to work to inact change.
