Never forget, M$ was on the verge of being broken up in 2000, just prior to the presidential election. After SCOTUS installed War Criminal Richard Cheney and his sidekick, George W. Bush, suddenly all government legal action against M$ ceased. This pile of filth still needs to be broken up, just like Amazon and Google. (Note that I don’t mention Facebook in this list because I don’t believe it needs to be “broken up” – rather, I believe it needs to face a corporate death penalty and the indictment of its officers. Facebook is evil, pure and simple. Zuckerberg is a dangerous sociopath.)
