MS is not that bad. Perhaps some of their practices in the past have been questionable, but I think recently, they have done a lot of good things, and are on the path to being a very good company again.
Just because they bundle their own Media Player, Web Browser, IM Client with their operating system, does not mean that the user cannot download and use something else.
3rd Party software for Windows has gotten a lot better recently as well.
In this instance, I don't think the courts are being fair to MS.

I dont think that the courts even understand what MS does. Bundling apps isnt what makes them a monopoly, its there business practices. They have gotten a lot better though.
