So why prosecute murderers?

After all, you can't bring back the dead, it's not like the murderer can make restitution, so let the murderer get away with it. No use prosecuting, just a waste of the prosecutor's time and taxpayers' taxes.

Exactly, who's to say that having a bad idea and a poorly managed company is microsoft's doing. Plenty of companies not in the OS market go out of business, just because they have a bad product idea or a product idea that wasn't something adopted by the public. Granted, I like BeOS and use it regularly, but I think there are lots of reasons that it didn't catch on, and microsoft having a better operating system is just a small part of those problems.
