Mark my words! the outcome of this will be like a mountain giving birth to a mouse.
Microsoft came out of such antitrust lawsuit unscathed and a decade later went back to pushing its browser down everyone's throat.
A mountain giving birth to a mouse? Is that a translation from another language? I'm not being critical, it's just oddly specific and bizarre.
Yeah it is a french expression, the english equivalent is " a long harvest for a little corn "
Here is a link to read about it, its meaning and use and its equivalent in other languages : link
I've heard long climb for a short slide.
Portuguese too: "a montanha pariu um rato"
What did we expect? There's no "monopolistic competition" in an industry where everything depends on everything. We granted them a monopoly and now play whack-a-mole when that monopoly gets "too" big.
