Is the PC & OS market still as MS-centric as it was back then? I know they still own the majority of the desktop, but with OS X out there, and more fragmentation to mobile, it feels like it would be much much harder to build an anti-trust case against Microsoft.

OS X has less users than Windows XP: http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-os-ww-monthly-201501-201601-bar http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-os-ww-monthly-201501-2016...

  Globally, yes. I think parent was talking about the US market where OS X is slightly more prominent and according to StatatsCounter surpasses the market share of Windows XP and Windows 10 combined. Microsoft still controls 3/4 of the desktop market according to these stats, but that would probably not qualify as monopoly anymore.
