The DOJ settlement hardly forced Microsoft to stop innovating or investing in the browser.

Microsoft did that on their own, and are now finding it hard to just pull even with everyone else.

Nice revisionist history though, the DOJ is a nice scapegoat to cover for the fact that they did nothing with IE until recently.

Why did the DOJ decision not affect recent innovation, then?

Right. Specious argument. Gotcha.

In fact, the MS v. DOJ case paved the way for heavy, government regulation in an industry that was relatively free of government. (Re: http://www.cato.org/pubs/policy_report/v21n2/friedman.html)
