    convicted monopoly

    Well that's a blast from the past. That was neat-o how Mr Boies nailed a conviction and the remedy was ... An apology? Was it even that much?

    Glad to see Microsoft is successfully building on that crushing no-remedy defeat by doing the same and more. #winning

    It was actually significant, and changed them quite a lot for 2 decades. Now they don't give a shit anymore. But there was an impact.

    Woukd have been more significant if Bush admin hadn't overridden the original judgment to break MS into 3 companies.
