Microsoft inks deal with Qualcomm http://www.arcon5.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=197 Why do Microsoft have to be in ALL markets, its getting ridiculous. Something needs to be done about their monopoly, but when I read this I realised it wont be any time soon! Look at the date on it, absolutely ridiculous. http://www.arcon5.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=247 Why dont the US do something?

Because they can? The monopoly is Windows, and the anti-trust case was Microsoft using that monopoly to shut out potential competitors.

There is nothing wrong however, with them attempting to enter a new market, particularly one where they have no such monopoly.

It's one thing to argue that a company should be punished for abusing it's monopoly, it's another to argue a company should be punished for growing their business.
