Microsoft’s Internet Explorer & Antitrust Concerns :
A 5 page paper discussing the Justice Department’s pursuit of
Microsoft on antitrust charges stemming from its bundling of its
products with new computers from third parties. The Cato
Institute’s Robert Levy says of the entire antitrust suit against
Microsoft, “That dispute revolves around Microsoft's "tie-in" of
its browser (Internet Explorer) with its operating system
(Windows 95) -- a tie-in that poses no greater threat to
competition...than the packaging of tires with automobiles,
cream with coffee, laces with shoes, even left gloves with right
gloves”. Instead, the threat to competition rests more in
Microsoft’s competitors being less able to compete based on
their own lack of good ideas. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Microsoft Anti-trust Lawsuit : 6 pages in length. In a world
where money is omnipotent and those who possess great wealth
are revered as being God-like, Bill Gates stands on the top of
the highest monetary mountain. However, the Microsoft
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is feeling the strength of
that mountain crumble just a little bit beneath his feet as the
result of an anti-trust lawsuit brought about by the United States
Department of Justice (DOJ) and twenty state attorney generals.
Their claim: Gates' manipulative manner of using monopolistic
practices in an overt attempt to control the Internet, including
related software products. Their demand: That Microsoft
detach its browser, Internet Explorer, from the Windows system
and sell it separately or give users a choice between Explorer
and its number one competitor, Netscape Navigator. The writer
discusses actions taken by Gates in dealing with the lawsuit.
