After withstanding its own antitrust battle in the dot-com era, Microsoft has pointed fingers at rivals and largely avoided recriminations in the current round of regulator scrutiny, but the relative quiet may not last through 2022.
Microsoft Corp. has spent most of the past two years pointing antitrust fingers at its tech rivals, as they suffered from the same type of scrutiny that slammed the Windows maker in the late 1990s.
