The week that was for Microsoft

BY DAN GILLMOR
Mercury News Technology Columnist

Government leaks about breaking up Microsoft make me wonder whether the antitrust people are
fighting the last war with Microsoft, and not looking hard enough at Microsoft's strategy. The
company has been buying or investing in all kinds of companies and technologies, including
telecommunications, in a sensible effort to control the next generation of information technology.

By giving away its Internet Explorer and effectively killing Netscape, it has achieved a dominance in
Internet software that could turn into control of the rules of the road for today's standard method of
access to the World Wide Web. I hope the states and Department of Justice are pondering what's
ahead, not just what's behind, in their settlement talks with Microsoft, and other plans should the
talks fail. Microsoft, above all, is a technology company, not a media company.
