Secure Boot, No Thanks

George W. Bush ran partly on a platform of dropping the antitrust suit against Microsoft. See http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-pe...

When he came into power in 2001, the Department of Justice suddenly stopped asking for the breakup of Microsoft, and started suggesting other remedies. There is actually a pretty good chance that Microsoft would have been broken up into a "Windows company" and an "Office company" if Gore instead of Bush had been elected.

Bush was also instrumental in winding down enforcement of the already toothless settlement in 2008. See http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&re...

You might also notice that the antitrust case against Google in 2011 also began under a Democrat. (Personally, I think the case against Google was a mistake, but that's another topic...) At the end of the day, the facts are that the Republicans haven't been very interested in antitrust lately.
