But Margrethe Vestager, the European Union's competition commissioner,
may not find the comparison entirely flattering. With more than a
decade of hindsight, the theories supporting the case against
Microsoft have all but fallen apart, and the pursuit of the company
that makes Windows may suggest a reason for skepticism about this
fight against Google: The tech marketplace is fluid and unpredictable.
The giants that look most unbeatable today could falter in ways that
may once have seemed unthinkable -- and without a lot of help from the
government.
