Somewhere in the program I suddenly remember what I once saw and heard in an episode of US history.

It was about some very rich American who had almost monopoly in oil industry and the government forced them to break up into smaller companies
(can't remember year and what type of companies they owned and so on.) I remember the host saying no companies shall gain such a monopoly as these rich person had.

With this in mind I thought-What about Microsoft ? why could they become such a power/have almost monopoly in USA and Europe, without any restriction from the Government in USA and in Europe.

Have the been any government issue forcing Microsoft to split into smaller companies thereby removing Microsoft monopoly and it's powerful position.


Off topic.

I understand about 90-95 % af spoken German
(unless it's juridical laws or advanced politics).
I understand about 70-80 % of what I read
(unless it's juridical laws or advanced politics)
I'm worthless when it comes to pronouncing German words.
When reading I hear the word inside my brain, if I try to say the word, it sounds terrible or people around would say

was hast du gerade gesagt ?
