At the height of the U.S. government's antitrust pursuit of Microsoft, Bill Gates and his execs were vigorously denouncing rivals Sun Microsystems and Oracle for using the Feds to try to cripple the world's largest software company. For a while, it sounded like Gates was channeling capitalist doyenne Ayn Rand, saying in 1998 that the technology industry's successes were due to lack of interference from Uncle Sam, and claiming that "the government is still trying to slow Microsoft down." | ||

Politics and Big Business 101: If you don't contribute generously to the campaigns of high-powered senators, Presidents, and representatives, you are going to get trouble.
And the more money you have and the less you contribute equals more problems. It's that simple. It's also interesting how most of MSFT's problems started in 1993, just after the newly elected President (and no, Soda, I'm not blaming Clinton specifically, because it wouldn't have been much different if Bush had been re-elected) |
