I think that in Microsoft's case, they should be more or less left to their own devices, within the law. No one is getting hurt or losing business on account of M$, except for M$. Their biggest problem is that of piracy. In my opinion, it is their own self-made problem. If they would drop the price on their software, they wouldn't have as much of a problem.
About the monopoly, a loose definition of it is that one company controls a market and that no other entity is allowed to compete in that market.. Clearly, M$ does NOT have a monopoly in the operating system market. Apple is gaining popularity with their Macs, and there are too many versions of Linux to shake a stick at. And of course, no one is stopping anyone from coming out with another OS. If the other OS's in the market were really that great, M$ wouldn't be on top would they? Of course not.
