Z:gnu-www-ja-free-world--722bdd-The drive to restrain Microsof/en

The drive to restrain Microsoft under the rubric of antitrust law seems mostly to be the effort of companies who find their own power positions threatened by Microsoft's activities. They seek to make it harder for Microsoft to undermine their own businesses. However, they are fundamentally similar to Microsoft in that they don't question a world where technology companies working from private caches of intellectual property are able to control the use of that technology for their own best profit.
