Microsoft Antitrust Case Keeps Going and Going...
February 27, 2001

House Majority Leader Dick Armey made the following comments regarding today's U.S. Court of Appeals hearing on the Microsoft antitrust case:

"This case just keeps going and going and going. But the longer it goes on, the less relevant the original grounds for the case become. Just like the antitrust case against IBM slowly faded into irrelevance.

"Government and the courts simply cannot keep up with the rapid change of market forces and innovation.

"No one, not even a judge or billionaire executive can foresee exactly what the future of this industry will look like. That's because creative minds all across America are hard at work dreaming up new innovations and conveniences for consumers. The marketplace should determine which of those great ideas succeed, not government and the courts.

"I hope the Appeals Court recognizes, as I do, that further court proceedings will simply shift minds and money from innovation to litigation."
