See: Microsoft's Supreme court case over their preference for IE and forced monopoly. While Microsoft 'won' the case, the outcomes were exactly what the case feared but "convenient" political climate helped them avoid travelling back to court of course. Microsoft took extreme steps to avoid being broken up in the 1990s however and it's arguable that one of their political mitigation methods, investing in Apple, actually had worse effects on them. (Prior to the iPhone in 2007, it was assumed that RIM and Microsoft would be the big two players in the smartphone space, Apple and Google have basically become the big two players in the Computing space mindshare)
