Microsoft really needs an antitrust smackdown with their repeated behavior.
That didn't work in the 90s.

Kuduos to you doing your HW. :)
In retrospect, DoJ didn't go far enough back then and ignored Microsoft's anti-competitive behavior with BeOS.
Part of it was Reagan massively weakened antitrust law after Ma Bell was broken up.
This is why we can't have good things.
Looking at the lobbying with the MS-Activision mess, and how broken the government here is. I'm sure they would of gave in.
Which sucked because BeOS was really good for its time.
Yes they do!
So does Google though if we're being honest.
Microsoft saying “stop using Google” is actually totally fine with me.
But only if they’re saying “go get Firefox.”
Shouldn't Apple be the focus of efforts?
Why not both?
I think in reality the Chrome web browser is a huge threat to Internet freedom and should be a top priority.
