So now we are going off into la-la land - but lets talk more about the edge
of complete dominance. Assume MS did nothing wrong. Or, assume they did A,
B, and C and were fined for it and stopped. Now, assume people just love MS
so much that they _still_ achieve 100% market domination, although now it is
only because people love it. Would the government still need to get
involved?
