You may not like MS products, but I think their capability to seek rent is much, much lower than the antitrust days. The story looks like the competition did it instead of regulation, but who knows if an undeterred, ruthless Microsoft would have fought back better and dirtier.
- marcosdumay 7y ago> their capability to seek rent is much, much lower than the antitrust days Well, I do agree with that, with two large caveats: - their capability to seek rent is still enormous, they are still one of the most powerful companies in the world on that; - and I have no idea how much of that loss comes from government intervention and competition, instead of previous bad management.
