I think I've mentioned it before, but you aught to read a book called
The New New. Sorry, can't remember the author. But you get the idea
that these collusion's by competitors you speak of were brought on by
MS's actions themselves. The book mainly centers around Jim Clark and
Netscape and his new start up at the time, Healtheon. Even though
Netscape won the fight, so to speak, Jim Clark wasn't going through
that crap again. So he created Healtheon, took it public and the stock
value went through the roof. He immediately turned around and sold it
to MS. I thought it was a great way to in a sense flip MS the bird.

Textbook? Hardly.
MS didn't have any lobbyists until they were sued by the DOJ in the
90's in
collusion with MS competitors whose lobbyists were deep in the
system. Now
MS plays the game.
Congrats.
