Antitrust and healthcare
September 18, 2007 by Tom Armstrong.
The WSJ today offers this opinion on the EU’s Microsoft decision and an opinion from Karl Rove on Healthcare.
From the Microsoft opinion:
Microsoft’s general counsel, Brad Smith, points out that Apple’s iPod dominates the MP3 player market, in which Microsoft’s Zune is the underdog, and that Google’s search engine has whipped Microsoft’s MSN and all other comers. Not to mention the near-monopoly in some mainframe-computer markets held by IBM, which joined Sun Microsystems in pushing Brussels to take on Microsoft in 1998. Mr. Smith seems to be implying that two can play at this game of making “strategic complaints.”
