  3. Does Microsoft have an unfair advantage to the source code for its operating system, allowing it to create highly integrated products without fair competition from other companies? 
  4. What portions of an operating system are essential to its operation and which are added components that should not be bundled with the OS? 
  5. Is Microsoft being "punished" for being a successful company? 
  6. How does Microsoft's development of multimedia players, which RealNetowrks claims disable its Player, illustrates Microsoft's non-monopolistic argument against the DOJ?
