Schmidt: Google aims to avoid Microsoft's antitrust mistakes

Google CEO Eric Schmidt says that large companies are always worried about antitrust issues, but the search giant is working to "not make the mistakes, which in my view were quite tragic, that Microsoft made."

Schmidt made the remarks in a long interview with the Financial Times. While a decent bit of focus was on Google's relationships with newspapers, Schmidt's comments on antitrust were notable. It's unclear how the Obama administration will approach antitrust issues.
