Of course not, the court decided as such because anti-monopoly laws exist to benefit _consumers_ and not companies that make business. If someone can have a (arguably for some) better operating system at a very competitive cost (zero for some GNU/Linux distributions, but not all since it's frequently found at a price on commercial exploitations such as Red Hat Enterprise and Suse Enterprise), if said software even fosters a cooperation environment that facilitates innovations, then the consumer did benefit. Wallace further failed to prove cause for complaint... hence dismissed for futility. Rui
