You mean when microsoft used their dominant OS position to drive Netscape out of existence? When IE went from 0% browser market share to over 90%?

It seems to me they learned a lot. That using monopoly advantage to attack the competition works like a charm and that anti-trust cases are toothless.

Microsoft essentially "won" the anti-trust case since they weren't broken up.




Right, apart from the fact that this was ~20 years ago and they've been losing marketshare ever since, and completely failed at mobile.

They're still attacking the competition but they're not doing a very good job of it.
