"Methods, motivation of Gates echo the industrial age" "Some experts say the evidence in the Microsoft case reads like it's cribbed from Rockefeller's and Carnegie's playbooks. Microsoft's exclusive deals with computer makers are a mirror of Carnegie's deals with the railroads to only allow his steel to be transported on their rails. And Microsoft's fear of what Netscape Navigator and Sun's Java may have done to its Windows dominance echo Carnegie's fear that if he didn't control ore production, he would lose his power over steel. Standard Oil counsel Samuel C. T. Dodd's justification for his company's monopoly that cooperation and association among the refiners, resulting eventually in the Standard Oil Trust (which) enabled the refiners so cooperating to reduce the price of petroleum products, and thus benefit the public to a very marked degree sounds very much like the Microsoft spin uttered nearly daily by Microsoft chief counsel William Neukom during his company's antitrust trial." Long but interesting article... msnbc.com
