The DOJ is attempting to: -interfere with innovation -interfere with the consumer's right to choose -become the de facto invisible hand of the market. That's the heart of Microsoft's case. What's interesting, however, is that the DOJ and now the court aver that it is Microsoft which -interferes with innovation -interferes with the consumer's right to choose -has become the de facto invisible hand in the market. Both Microsoft and the court take remarkably similar views of what the ideal market should be. Both claim that the market should be free to decide among competing technologies. Both claim that the consumer is better off in a market free from external pressures. Unfortunately, each of them takes a significantly different stand on the question of who it is that is interfering in the market.
