Microsoft anti-trust

In June 1990, the Federal Trade Commission launches a probe into possible collusion between Microsoft and IBM. Eight years after the initial FTC probe, Microsoft is accused of anti-competitive acts and is sued for anti-trust violation. The verdict calls for the breakup of Microsoft. On June 28, 2001, after 4 1/2 years of litigation, Microsoft wins an appeal victory as the court throws out the breakup order.
