MS vs DOJ
I believe that Microsoft has the best intensions for society, because they are constantly developing the software market into a more competitive and challenging industry. Microsoft's success as a company is partly due to its commitment to making the best product possible and strategic business practices. The first reason Microsoft is not a monopoly is because of the standardized quality of its OS. Second is the intelligent business practices Microsoft has engaged in through many of its business partners. The legal issues of the alleged antitrust accusations from the department of justice are just totally overrated.The standardized quality of MS Windows98 has really made the PC market as a whole take a rocket boost from the past. Most people who oppose this stance would say that standardizing a product wouldn't cause anything but a monopoly. This is fiction because people choose products that are simply reliable and of good quality. The success of Microsoft's operating system hasn't been used to cause a monopoly in the browser marker, but to increase the quality of their software. A statement from Bill Gates on the 7th of December stating " I am proud of the work our people have done to bring the benefits of the Internet
Legal arguments and authorities, as well as substantial evidence supporting the arguments show how Microsoft has not done the accusations by the government. For example, how Netscape has been prevented by any of the Microsoft conduct at issue from utilizing numerous available channels to distribute its web browsing software broadly to consumers. In actuality a user of Windows 98 can install Netscape's web browsing software and use it to browse the Web. An article on www.microsoft.com, said there are currently somewhere between 40 and 70 million users of unlimited distribution allowing Netscape to distribute many copies and the number continues to grow in recent years. One overwhelming outcast to this case is that the Government has not evidence to prove, that the software code in Windows98 that provides web-browsing functionality is a "separate product." The DOJ have tried to prove a traditional tying claim, but it failed because they were not able to prove that Windows and IE technologies are separate products, that any OEM has been forced to purchase a separate product or that Microsoft has done anything to foreclose Netscape's ability to distribute its web browsing software. Many in opposition have said that OEM has sought to remove IE from Microsoft's OS. As a reply Microsoft said, "There is no evidence that any OEM has sought to remove IE technologies in their entirety from Windows95 and Windows98, or that OEM's which to offer computers that include operating systems software without any web browsing capability. Even if there are customers who wish to limit or foreclose web-browsing capability on their machines, the government has not shown that consumers do not want operating systems incorporating the other benefits arising from the integration of web browsing software into operating systems. I once again believe that Microsoft still has the best potential for society and the software industry, because of the standardized quality, intelligent busine
