Well on paper at least, the US has antitrust laws going back to the Sherman Act and Standard Oil.

Microsoft was basically inches away from being broken up in the late '90s due to their anti-competitive practices.

They absolutely should have been and if they were we probably wouldn't have the amazon or google we have today.

I'm kind of hoping the EU decides to pick MS up on this, with a 2nd go around of "abusing their monopoly on the desktop".

Maybe this time they'll break MS into small pieces. :)

That's my point.

China got their "Antimonopoly law" in 2007.
