I think the DoJ actions against Microsoft are about preventing market

There may be several potential market failures with Microsoft as ground
zero. Maybe Alan Greenspan simply was successful in whispering into
someone's ear about letting some air out of Microsoft's stock price before
it implodes and brings the whole NASDAQ down. The Microsoft situation is
well understood in terms of market dynamics and hardly anyone other than
impassioned ideologues will argue that its market position and actions are
'good'.
Certainly convenient.
