Bist du für die Zerschlagung von Microsoft?

Frage: Should Microsoft be broken up?

Anonymous: You asked the wrong person, because I have extensive education regarding antitrust issues. I maintain precisely the same attitude as our Oliver Wendell Holmes did. "Antitrust is damned nonsense". Endless studies have found this to be true. Turns out that Rockefeller (in addition to help saving the whales as a byproduct) drove down prices so much that whale oil became a dead issue. As Judge Bork once said, antitrust stautes are anticompetitive in themselves. The free market does work.

When companies like Microsoft do unpopular things (and sometimes, turn out what purists consider deficient products), competitors do emerge (e.g. Linux). Let the market work. So, no...I think Microsoft should go about its merry way without government interference (and if Linux kicks Windows' ass, them's the breaks).
