I've never understood any of this

With respect, that is a good reason not to make comments on the case.

On the other hand, it is a good reason to ask questions.

If I built an OS and decided to support some apps and not others, why should anyone be allowed to tell me any different?

Because the person (potentially) telling you different would be a judge upholding the law.

The law applies to you, me, Microsoft, Google, Apple, Opera, Mozilla etc etc.

I'm sorry but the "infusion" is complete crap

See United States v. Microsoft (1998).

I would advise against telling a judge that his findings were "crap" (even if they were).

I don't care which side (if any) people choose to take in this dispute.

But this is WebmasterWorld, and we should at least get the basic facts right.

My prediction (as above): no lawyer will lose financially.
