Case of United States Versus Microsoft

Litigation The cases of US and Microsoft and Microsoft are a series of civil lawsuits brought against Microsoft relating to the Department of Justice Sherman Antitrust Law. In this case, the Department of Justice claimed that Microsoft abused the monopolistic superiority of PC control operating system sales and Web browser software sales (Lohr & Brinkley, 2001). Conflicts arise from integrating Internet Explorer browser software into the Microsoft Windows operating system, but this movement is considered to limit access to the browser market of competing Web browsers such as Opera and Netscape.
