Not really. Microsoft got a slap on the wrist and was told to not create a new monopoly.

Microsoft has acquired over 250 companies since that time. I don’t think trying in the 90s means they are good forever.

Do Apple then Facebook. These companies have bought or stolen from so many companies. They should all be broken up they are all to big.
