Bill Gates defends the Microsoft Empire, saying their dominance is due to technological advancement, not a desire to monopolize the industry.
Different bosses of the computer industry gave their (opposing) opinions to congress on Microsoft's position. All agreed, however, that the government should maintain their laissez faire approach.
Gates claimed that government regulation would only restrict innovation, and in this case, I whole-heartedly agree.

It's such a tough call with Microsoft - which is why they haven't been forced to break up. Is it a monopoly because they are the only ones with the technologies (natural monopoly) or do they actively buy out/terrorize/underprice their competition?
Until the courts can prove the 2nd beyond reasonable doubt, they will stay as the first. :)
