Joe Thompson, who identifies himself as an Objectivist, takes to task the folks at http://www.moraldefense.com/ who call for a cessation of the anti-trust litigation against Microsoft.
The most common parallels they draw are those between Standard Oil and Microsoft, and between John Galt and Bill Gates. I wasn't able to find specific comments by Ayn Rand on the Standard Oil breakup, but I will in this essay attempt to draw parallels between Microsoft and Taggart Transcontinental under the ownership of Jim Taggart, and distinguish it from Rearden Steel.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
