There are some important things to remember about the softie decision. It is based largely on actions taken by softie starting in 1995 when Netscape presented a potentially disruptive technology, that is, the web, which softie had not appreciated previously. In other words, the central problem was that a so-called Gorilla was attempting to deal with a disruptive technology that threatened it. I am not saying that softie didn't go to far in attempting to deal with Netscape. What I am saying is that this was not your typical, traditional anti-trust situation. The long-term implications are to restrict the actions of Gorillas and perhaps even to cripple them from ever reaching Gorilla status.
