The second coming of the Microsoft antitrust battle?

The recent antitrust lawsuit against Apple by the Justice Department is drawing comparisons to the case against Microsoft in 1998. The government sees a direct connection between the two cases, claiming that Apple's success today would not have been possible without the fight against Microsoft. However, experts argue that the comparison is not perfect, and it remains to be seen if the Justice Department will achieve what it claims. The Apple case is more ambitious and demands operability across platforms, and the smartphone market has evolved significantly since the Microsoft case. While the Microsoft case resulted in little industrial change, Apple may face similar challenges with litigation and resource allocation.
