I do not think you understood what I wrote, because we pretty much
agree on most things.

My list of ways in which Microsoft won was not comprehensive.

Every once in a while I forget Microsoft anti-competitive practices, as
times goes by, and with their new "face", its easy to forget.

But it is always illustrative to read the actual depositions in the EU
trial, or the US one:

Microsoft can build some good products, but they also made sure of
using every bit of power they had in their reach to make sure they
dominated.
