I wonder if only the US Justice Department (or may the EC guys) can
initiate
anti-trust against Microsoft or any country in the world where Microsoft
operates?
Sounds like they keep pushing the envelope. I can only say that the US
Govt
action against IBM dealing with the separation of Operating Systems and
Application software actually benefitted the whole industry. Maybe it
is
time for a relook. I wonder if any Australian Politician or Regulator
would
take this on?
