Exchange isn't a monopoly
The patent infringment is one thing and could very well be valid. But the paragraph about bundling deserves a comment.

"Visto has likened this situation to when Microsoft bundled its Internet Explorer browser and its Windows Media Player with its Windows operating system, both actions resulting in high-profile antitrust suits against the software giant."

Windows was found to have a monopoly. But, does anyone honestly think that Exchange has a monopoly in email server software? This type of bundling is not illegal without having a monopoly.
