Do you have relevant case law that you can cite that the well paid Epic lawyers missed that would have been more convincing?

luckily we have real lawyers that don’t just pull up irrelevant cases. The case in both the US and the EU was about MS forcing OEMs to psy for a license on all shipping computers whether or not the computer shipped with Windows.

Apple doesn’t license its operating system to other OEMs, it doesn’t have anywhere near 90% market share and EU case law is irrelevant in the US.

> In 1993, the American software company Novell claimed that Microsoft was blocking its competitors out of the market through anti-competitive practices. The complaint centered on the license practices at the time which required royalties from each computer sold by a supplier of Microsoft's operating system, whether or not the unit actually contained the Windows operating system.

And absolutely nothing changed about IE in the US - no browser choice, no forced unbundling, nothing.
