I don't recall the Microsoft antitrust case having been about breaking the company up though. The issue at hand was that one company shouldn't ship a web browser preinstalled in the OS, not that the same company shouldn't make both an OS and a web browser.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoThe initial judgment called for breaking up Microsoft. That was overturned on appeal. (Yes, the case was about Microsoft using OS dominance to dominate the browser market, but breaking up Microsoft was the initial remedy.)
- _heimdall 2y agoOh that's really interesting, not sure how I lost that fact to the sands of time. Thanks!
