the EU and the US have already gone down this path over and over

My understanding is that the US went down this path (browser monopoly) only once and that Microsoft was found to have acted illegally by due process - including appeal - in a properly constituted court of law (see the case I cited above).

My further understanding is that the first similar case in the EU is at the preliminary stages and has yet to actually commence, let alone be decided (see the opening post in this thread).

I know for a fact that IE remains dominant not because of a monopoly

Presumably Microsoft's lawyers would love to have you as a witness in the case at issue.

I suspect, however, that they will offer similar advice to mine on how (not) to address a judge.

Unless I am much mistaken, they will want to win.
