Micro$oft IS a Monopoly! -- 6:57 pm CST, Update by The Master

Microsoft Nailed! today, with Judge Jackson's ruling on the U.S. vs. Microsoft Anti-Trust lawsuit. I'm still blown away by M$'s attitude that what they do is okay. Take a look at Microsquash's announced pricing on Windows 2000 if you need proof of monopoly power. A $200 jump in price for a friggin' UPGRADE is monopoly power kids, no holds barred. Thanks ZDNet.

FOLLOWUP: Article on CNN in the same line, but a bit more detailed. Also a link to the full findings.

A.T. adds: It'll be interesting to see what will follow from here. This is a damning loss for Microsoft. Will the judgment have any impact on end-users? Time will tell.
