        Yeah, there the FTC was with a clear market that Microsoft would have a monopoly over should the merger go through. They had Microsoft on the ropes, but, before they could finish them, Microsoft pinky promised prices wouldn’t go up. And that was that, no threat of a monopoly and the merger could go through.

        … the current antitrust ruling guidelines make enforcement basically impossible.

      Hell, I won’t believe it even when I’ll see it. Likely some loophole will be found to dodge this in one way or another.
