Reason #2 Government Cracks Down on Intel, Microsoft The Department of Justice took its strongest stance yet against Microsoft Corp. [MSFT], mandating the company debundle Internet Explorer from Windows 95 OEM products. Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission has thrown a wrench into Intel's purchase of C&T by challenging the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act. These government actions, particularly in the case of Internet Explorer, are good news for start-ups and small companies trying to put their stamp on the PC and software industries. The goal is to curb the power of these industry leaders and prevent monopolies so other companies have a fair shot at selling their innovations.
