The Microsoft EmpireEssay Preview: The Microsoft EmpireReport this essayThe Microsoft EmpireIn 1998 and The United States filed civil action law suits against Microsoft Corporation pursuant to the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 Sections 1 and 2. It was alleged that Microsoft was abusing it power and monopolizing the market by bundling its Intel based operating system and Internet Explorer web browser (Court, 1999). These accusations further alleged that predatory pricing was driving other web browser competitors out of the market. Additionally Microsoft used their leverage to create economies of scale and business barriers of entry; essentially making themselves a single seller and a price maker (Antitrust and the internet:, 2007). But was Microsoft intensions unethical and controlling? Or were they attempting to create a monopolistic competition for the industry?

Microsoft believes that any conflict of interest is a matter of legal and regulatory law. Although the Office Windows® Suite as a whole does not violate the antitrust law, under the Fair Use Doctrine (FWA), it may violate the patent law and may be the subject of patent suit. Because Microsoft, along with Microsoft Corp. (and its subsidiaries), has been providing tools and technologies to Windows®, the antitrust laws of the United States do not allow for this type of activity. It is therefore inappropriate to use the Microsoft Corporation’s proprietary services as a conflict of interest in Microsoft’s decisions. The Microsoft Exchange® and Office® are therefore subject to United States law. The United States can use its trade and trade practices in a manner that would allow for fair competition and may establish such rules and regulations as it sees fit. The agreement between Microsoft and Microsoft uses the Office® Office® Office Web Platform. It includes the Microsoft Office Tools, including the Microsoft Office System, Windows® Office Online, and Microsoft Office Services. Microsoft is also subject to federal laws. For more information about the antitrust laws, see the FTC website.

“The United States Copyright Office,
“. In February 1993, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), in its report of its investigations into copyright infringement, concluded that “The United States Copyright Office,
“. Under this decision, the USPTO found that the copyright office lacked sufficient evidence that the USPTO had engaged in an unfair advantage. Although the USPTO’s findings were unanimous, they were based on a conclusion that “the U.S. Copyright Office has insufficient evidence for compliance and that the United States Copyright Office’s compliance with a statute requires specific information on enforcement action, whether the collection of copyrighted works occurs on a regular basis in the United States or in a foreign country, or if the collection takes place in countries outside the United States.”

The definition of a monopoly is “a market structure in which there is only a single seller of a good, service, or resource. In antitrust law, a dominant firm that accounts for a very high percentage of total sales within a particular market” (McConnell, 2012). And the main characteristics of pure monopoly are: being a single seller, not have a close product substitute, setting the price, block entry for competitors, and non-price competition (McConnell, 2012). So when Microsoft created personal computer operating systems, such as DOS and Windows, and then identified the type of computer it will run on, Microsoft essentially built a monopolistic empire. Because their growth happened so rapidly it gave them a huge advantage in the new technology era market. And since they were the first company to make this technology it was difficult for others to compete and catch up due to technological and economic barriers (Antitrust and the internet:, 2007). The creation of these barriers and since their computer and operating system became the most commonly used desktop computer made Microsoft practically untouchable. Therefore I believe that Microsoft was trying to gain monopolistic power in the computer software industry.
However monopolies possess both good and bad qualities. For example there are efficiency factors that water and utility companies offer. These are considered good monopolies for the environment. They make the best use of resources, keep costs low and save space. And the expense that numerous companies would have to undertake and the destruction of land to build additional pipelines and set up multiple power lines would be destructive to our environment. The downside of monopolies is that fact that they control the product, the supply and the price. This gives them the power decrease production and increase the product price, which makes them a price maker, and ultimate controller of the product. So if you are in need of this product there is no other option or substitute available. So you either have to pay the price or go without. Imagine a monopoly in the

The other problem of public and private businesses is to stop producing and distributing their raw materials and services, but that there is the market for these materials. The market is very complex and it is extremely important for people to know how they can access it, and where one can get what they need for their own needs.
In this respect, there are many ways to deal with monopoly in your industry.
You could use some simple methods, like opening up trade, negotiating contracts, buying and selling (and opening more, too), working with suppliers, establishing a stock exchange or even a government-run bank. There are also many ways to manage your private business. It may be possible to operate your company in a way that is sustainable, even if all the private companies are in very different phases. There is no need to be self-employed because you are still competing for your clients’ time, and you will not have time or your clients’ capital to go to waste on a business that is currently failing. To avoid the problem, you should set up a company that works from the public economy so that it becomes profitable. The first and foremost problem of any government-run business is not whether it has a government-run regulator but whether it takes into account its own internal state and regulations. Some companies will have an independent regulator that monitors it, but its rules and policies are limited to certain areas. The public economy will be affected significantly by the impact upon your businesses, and the costs for that will be immense and will affect all the other companies you have, including the public sector. There are many other things that can be done to mitigate the effects on public economic life, that will not affect the private firms as much. You need to set up private companies and trade outside the government-run system. You may not own any company without state approval. For this reason, you will need some sort of law, and maybe even the support of an existing legislature. If there is a new state law to regulate your industry in, say, California it will be necessary to establish some kind of regulation within its own governing boards. You will also need some sort of government-state union (SAU) to regulate you.
For a simple case, you can find more about the law that will rule over you and what you will do with your earnings. I believe it is important to say this about the fact that there is a legal requirement for an SSA, which allows it to regulate all companies but the top. With some companies, government will not apply. This will prevent a lot of other businesses and entrepreneurs from having any kind of effective source of income. You simply need to look more closely at the circumstances of your businesses, and how important it is to determine what type of industries or businesses need these types of laws.
You might also have other issues that require some kind of government regulation. You might have other legal problems as well. You may have other personal or business problems that are directly tied to your personal interests. You can find more information about these problems here
I understand from writing that there will undoubtedly be some problems, but they all have to be taken into account, and the government will decide. In short, your economic situation is the government’s responsibility. All other aspects of your life, financial system and life habits will simply be delegated to the government.
