The article bears reading. We tend to forget the storied anti-trust narrative and trials that gave Lessig brilliance and dimmed only slightly Microsoft. That's a mistake. It's also an error to assume that just because the conditions have changed and that "we" are moving away from the desktop, where the dinosaurs of computing reigned, that Microsoft and other equivalent companies, like Oracle, are less relevant and thus less powerful. They are not.
