Ummm....help for a small essay.

[Guest Plushy Al Logan]

I'm not asking someone to do my homework for me. I'm just making a claim that Microosft is not a Monopoly, and I just want to know about good sources that I can cite for this essay. I just got the assignment now, and it's due in two weeks. If I fuck up on this, then I'm screwed horribly. I have found nothing good on Google yet, and plus our Library sucks horribly.

Department of Justice anti-trust

 

Just, so you know...it was. And maybe that's because I just got done with a interview ::which went great!:: for a job in Anti-Trust with DA GOV~!, but it seriously was a monopoly in any economic sense

 

EDIT: Maybe monopoly isn't the right word and you could win on semantics, but Microsoft was able to create price-effects which is essentially a monopoly characteristic. Monopolies restrict output to a point to raise prices and thereby profits, or hold prices at an artificially high level. The lack of ways to enter the market also enabled Microsoft to not have any significant competition...

 

*lets face it..apple and linux were not then competition. However, linux is creeping up with its partnership with Novell now. The tide could be turning...*

Thanks, SJ! While following your advice, I found a more interesting subject, The Patriot act.
