The market took care of the problem only because the antitrust injunction prevented Microsoft from dominating the market in its customary manner. Without that injunction, Apple would be dead today. (Microsoft's investment in Apple during the antitrust proceedings is the only reason Apple survived long enough to push out the iPod.)

Indeed, a lot of what Apple is lauded for today (i.e., integration) is stuff that Microsoft was explicity prevented from doing under the terms of the antitrust injunction.
