Plus when Bush took over, looks like he had the DOJ drop the case. At least under Clinton they were trying, though incompetently as you said.

IIRC the ruling was under Clinton, but the 'punishment' under Bush was that Microsoft gave free copies of Windows to schools (which were a Apple bastion at the time).
The two primary parties any country generally votes for:
1. Corrupt over there and incompetent everywhere else
2. Incompetent over there and corrupt everywhere else
My father was a staunch Democrat, former union (UAW) guy. He always said "both parties are going to steal from you, the only difference is that Democrats believe you have to have something to steal first." I think that's a largely true observation even today.
The older I get the less optimism I have that it's possible for any system to avoid corruption and a class system of haves and have nots where the haves just amass power to keep gathering more and more...
Finally, a reasonable definition of the left/right dichotomy!
Except the left are green.
