> Microsoft gets left alone - Really? You may want to ask the closest adult near you about this.

I've got some bad news for you: 2001 was 23 years ago. It's possible to not just be a legal adult (18) but also old enough to drink (21) and still not have been born yet when that was going down.

Or run for Congress in the midterms if they are 25 by the time of the next election two years from now.

I look back and I honestly wonder if that lawsuit actually had the effect they intended.

Who are the "they" in your question? Clinton's administration that started the enforcement action against Microsoft, or Bush' administration that ultimately presided over the conclusion of the case?

Similar thing will happen now: none of these actions will be pursued nor enforced by the new government.

Thank you for making us all feel very old.

Slight aside on the original post:

* Microsoft did just fight off a huge government battle on Activision. I believe they lost a battle on Teams bundling. Last week the FTC announced they were looking into Azure.

* Apple, their store & mobile browser has been a topic of monopoly discussions for years.

* Amazon wasn't allowed to buy Roomba just this past year. They've had tons of inquires over the past decade.
