Event Description:
The settlement of the Microsoft anti-trust case in 2002 was to be monitored by a team of three computer guys rather than lawyers and judges. Eight years later and the oversight has ended. Did it accomplish anything worthwhile? Was this a good way to enforce a legal decree? Are consumers better off as a result? Is Google next?
