I agree. The fine is just another cost of doing business, and this makes breaking the law to put someone else out of business just another tactic. I'm not sure what the fix is, but this was clearly MS's strategy in the '90s. Kill the competition, fight the case, pay the fine if you lost, then make up the money lost because you can charge more.
