Sažetak
Microsoft’s dominant market position is the result of technological ingenuity of its great leadership. Bearing in mind the natural tendency of successful technologies to become monopolies, Gates unique skill in turning Microsoft’s technology in software standards, provide the company the way to the very top. In just five years, from 1981 when licensed MS DOS version of its operating system, till the 1985, Microsoft has “won” more than half of personal computers around the world that work thanks to its program, and who’s share in recent years has climbed to a high 90%. Microsoft today holds a substantial portion of the market operating systems, office software and development tools, Internet browsers and services. The American system evaluates this ubiquity of Microsoft as “abuse of monopoly to suppress competition, to discourage innovation and restrict consumer’s choice”, and the Microsoft case as one of the world’s largest anti-trust cases.
