    The existence of other options isn’t sufficient defence against anti-trust suits. There are other options to Windows, but Microsoft has been the target of multiple anti-trust suits over the years.

      Windows had a grater than 95% market share during their biggest anti trust suit.

      That’s a legitimate monopoly.

      Apple is nowhere near a monopoly. There’s a plethora of competition.

        Windows had a grater than 95% market share during their biggest anti trust suit.

        There is no legal definition of a “legitimate monopoly.” 95% or 30% or even 0%. Anti-competitive practises which distort the market and prevent consumer choice are illegal. This has nothing to do with the market share Apple holds. It is about them restricting competition.
