Why Bill Gates should worry: beleaguered Microsoft

Article Abstract:

The Justice Dept has launched an antitrust action against Microsoft, and on Dec 11, 1997, a federal judge ruled that Microsoft cannot require computer makers to install Microsoft's Web browser Explorer. Although Microsoft has a strong case against such action, antitrust cases are often influenced by politics.

An unsettling settlement

Article Abstract:

The settlement of the US Justice Dept's antitrust case against Microsoft which was announced on Nov 2, 2001, is an unlikely victory for Microsoft. Despite a ruling that it abused its monopoly position, Microsoft is not being punished and the restrictions imposed will have little real impact.

Nothing if not tenacious

Article Abstract:

Microsoft's bid to overturn a ruling that it had abused its monopoly should win it some time to ensure the release of its Windows XP operating system in Oct 2001. Some believe Windows XP represents further monopolistic abuses.
