&gt; Why are we talking about Microsoft and not the particular responsible Microsoft business division?<p>Because -as the US DoJ inquiry showed us- Microsoft&#x27;s anti-competitive behavior has been a strategy that was pursued because of directives from C-level employees.<p>Historically, it hasn&#x27;t been low-to-mid-level minions spontaneously deciding to do great violence to the computer industry, it has been directives (either express or implied) from the top that caused them to behave in this way.
