TCO G) The Federal Government’s prosecution and event

(TCO G) The Federal Government’s prosecution and eventual dissolution of
the Standard Oil Trust under the 1890 Sherman Act before the Supreme
Court in 1911 was the dominate example of antirust litigation in this
country for almost 100 years. The only other Federal attack on a
business as a dominate Monopoly to approach the importance of the
Standard Oil Trust case was the United States v. Microsoft Corporation
case, which was originally filed in 1999 by President Bill Clinton and
his Attorney General Janet Reno. The Microsoft Case was resolved at the
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2001 by President George W. Bush and
Attorney General John Ashcroft. What was the basis, Federal Statute, for
the original complaint against Microsoft? What was the basis of the
specific complaint the Federal Government filed against Microsoft? What
was the final result of the case, and the lasting impact on the
software/computer industry?
