>>Notice how the Justice Department lawyers keep using AT&T as an example of why this is happening. I guess they completely forgot AT&T was a government enforced and protected monopoly.

You are correct, the two are opposites.

The AT&T breakup was part of the massive deregulation of telecommunications which effectively launched the internet revolution. That's what Reps do.

The MSFT breakup is the introduction of regulation into the "new economy" by those who want political exactions (tribute). That's what Dems do.
