> Look at what happen to the MS antitrust trial. Google ... Google happened. MS dominated computing then, and they would have dominated the web if they could've forced everyone to stay on IE and use their search capabilities. The antitrust trial prevented that and probably can be credited with allowing the modern web explosion. Even if you argue the explosion would've happened, it certainly would've happened slower and undoubtedly poorer, if you were around during the MS era, you would know what I mean.
