IBM has been under investigation for about 20 years more than Microsoft so
far, and as yet the Government has not got its act together to punish IBM.
Yet, IBM's practices with regard to Mainframe and Minicomputer products,
where they have dominated the world for 30 years, are far more
anti-competitive than Microsoft's, and far further in breach of anti-Trust
regulations.

On that basis, we might expect Microsoft to finally end up in trouble in
about 2030, if the Justice Department chooses to penalise IBM some time before
the millenia.
