As a freshmen student, making the transaction to college from high school normally is very difficult. Things that seem the same as it did back home makes me feel at ease. The posters on the wall and the soft pillows are the small things that remind me of home. Even the computers here all run on Microsoft, and use the Microsoft software. As most of our computers at home did, this makes it easy for us to use the computer in the computer labs. I am going to try to prove a point on how Microsoft is monopolizing in a good way for everyone e

Please take into consideration the fact that more people in society will be affected with the outcome of the decision, then employees of computer companies. Even though it is unfair for others to be knocked out of the race, Microsoft has built itself up so that the people trust them. It is easier for the people to stay with the household name Microsoft, then to hear a different name. I know there are many reasons to break Microsoft up, but the good outweighs the bad. Tell me Judge can you personally say that you wouldn¯t mind having to change to Linux

It is unfair to give the weak a chance, even if the people are unwilling to accept them. In today¯s world the strong survive, while the weak fall apart. Thousands of companies fail each year because they are eliminated from competition. Breaking up Microsoft can possibly hurt the stock market even more, bringing down the Dow Jones. Microsoft having a big impact on the stock market can be seen this past spring. After Judge Jackson¯s (the Judge hearing the case) ruling it caused weeks of gut-wrenching roller-coaster stock rides (Time). This can be a big deal for the economy that is already struggling to survive and stay afloat. Both the U.S. and Seattle will see the damages with the stock of Microsoft falling. Seattle¯s economy has been boosted with Microsoft having to be located there. °The impact on the state economy is just unbelievable,± says Chang Mook Sohn, Washington¯s chief economist (USA Today).

Monopolies are considered to be illegal in the United States, because of how it eliminates competition. Competition is what gives consumers the advantage of being able to freely choose its suppliers. Pointing to the fact that without competition the supplier can have absolute control over the consumers, without fearing its competitors for cheaper prices or other substitutes.
