Companies go bankrupt. It's doesn't mean something illegal is going on.
Imagine we have 3 computer companies. If 2 have no problem doing what MS
says and 1 does - and that one company goes bankrupt, then that is the free
market at work.

I don't believe so. Extortion of a person is a thread of violence. If you
don't pay me X, I'll break your legs. In other words, if you don't do what I
want I will commit a crime. That is not the same as saying "If you bundle
ColdFusion, I will charge you more for Windows." (Be aware that I understand
that some of my views do NOT match up against current anti-trust law, and in
those cases, I disagree with the laws, but I think you get my drift about
how this is different - although you may not agree.)
