    Will Reno Break Windows?
    The strong-arming in question this time around is Microsoft's charming practice of requiring its hardware partners to plant its Web browser, Internet Explorer, onto the desktop of every PC they make, or lose the right to sell Windows 95 computers--which, since Windows operating systems now run some 85% of PCs in the U.S., is roughly equivalent to going out of business. Microsoft, Reno said, "is unlawfully taking advantage of its Windows monopoly to protect and extend that monopoly and undermine consumer choice." In other words, it's O.K. to be a monopolist only if you don't act like one.
