Neither of them have a monopoly on anything other than their own intellectual properties. The courts have ruled that Microsoft's ~90% plus of the Personal Computing Operating System market is a monopoly... and hence has restricted their freedom in certain ways that non-monopolists do not have to meet.

The court is wrong. MS does not have a monopoly on the desktop OS market. To say otherwise rewrites the long-held definition of a monopoly—TOTAL DOMINATION, 100% market share.
