<The US Govt. is not charged with the care and representation of dynamic competition, it is charged with the care adn representation of the people who elected it. Your assumption that competition is to be protected in lieu of the consumer is ambiguous at best or flat out wrong as I see it.>

Look up "Section 8 Powers of Congress" from The Constitution; they do have the power to regulate interstate commerce.

They also have the power to wage war and employ economic embargos on emerging countries, that does not necessarily alter their charge to the American people nor guarantee that these actions would be made in the best interest of the American people.

If Microsoft is really using "unfair trade practices" to build its empire then racketeering and not capitalism is at work. Hardly an environment which promotes efficiency or free-market forces. A corporation which has nothing to hide would not be reacting as desperately as Microsoft is.
