Yeah, that was the first thing I thought when I read about Microsoft’s call for antitrust regulation. The whole thing makes them sound like spoiled brats who didn’t get their way.

I will gladly fill out the paperwork for them to get the regulators to examine this situation, I for one was thinking this the moment I heard the sale was going through.

[...] So, why did Microsoft complains about the deal, when in fact the acquisition passed through the bidding first? Is it because Microsoft is really interested to own the DoubleClick? Well, it’s true. But it’s not only Microsoft that calls for the review of the deal, Yahoo! and At&T join Microsoft on it.Â Consider these words of Andy Beal: What is the best way to act, when youâ€™ve been out-bid for DoubleClick by Google. You walk away with your head held high and at least keep your dignity, right? [...]

lol.. Why don’t they spent some effort in examining future tactics to fight against Google instead of squabbling over this one? I guess this explains Google’s hold on the internet, if it requires 3 major companies to gang up against them.
