In retrospect, DoJ didn’t go far enough back then and ignored Microsoft’s anti-competitive behavior with BeOS.

Part of it was Reagan massively weakened antitrust law after Ma Bell was broken up.

Which sucked because BeOS was really good for its time.

For anyone curious about BeOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzosnPSETzk

Also there’s apparently an open source version of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-zgv0CZfco

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=MzosnPSETzk

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I was so excited to try BeOS back then. I don’t think I ever got my hands on a copy, but it just looked so good.

I got to play with a BeBox for a few hours at a friend’s store and it was pure joy to play with compared to what Apple and Microsoft had to offer.

Looking at the lobbying with the MS-Activision mess, and how broken the government here is. I’m sure they would of gave in.
