Go to http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f204400/204468.htm Is Microsoft a Monopoly? In 2002 a U.S. Court of Appeals imposed remedies relating to a lower court's findings that Microsoft had a monopoly in personal computer (PC) operating systems and had maintained its monopoly through illegal actions. Go to the McConnell-Brue-Barbiero Web site (Chapter 8) to access the details of the case. On what basis did the court conclude that Microsoft was a monopoly (see Market Share)? What was Microsoft's market share of Intel-compatible PC operating systems? Of all operating systems, including Apple computers? What evidence did the court cite in claiming that Microsoft charged above-competitive prices (see Microsoft's Pricing Behaviour)? |
