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.
