The results are very telling--not just with regard to Microsoft, but to antitrust law in general. Indeed, when one looks closely at the ground-breaking government actions taken against Standard Oil, the Aluminum Company of America, and AT&T, it becomes clear that something other than preventing harm to consumers--the stated goal of federal antitrust legislation--is the motivating force behind applying the law." (REASON) This article takes a look at various antitrust cases and compares them with the case the government brought against Microsoft.
