How meaningful is the distinction, honestly? What are you going to do, buy the tablet that's totally open? Is there one?

How meaningful is the distinction, honestly? What are you going to do, buy the tablet that's totally open? Is there one?
- jimbokun 5y agoI don't think "totally open" is an enforceable legal concept, so what do you expect the courts to do to fix this problem? Anti-trust law is long standing with lots of precedent to work off of, so it had a natural application to the Microsoft case.
- powersnail 5y agoIt's a fairly meaningful distinction in the context of grandparent comment which talks about DOJ not pursuing Google/Apple for this specific fault, since the Microsoft case was one about abusing their monopoly position.
- emodendroket 5y agoSure, it's more that I think antitrust is not really that meaningful a remedy.
