Book SynopsisIn 1998 the United States Department of Justice and state antitrust agencies charged that Microsoft was monopolizing the market for personal computer operating systems. This book traces the development of the case from its conceptual origins through the trial and the key decisions on both liability and remedies.Trade Review"This book will become the gold standard for analysis of the monopolization cases against Microsoft.... No serious student of law or economic policy should go without reading it." - Thomas C. Arthur, Emory University "An excellent, detailed summary of the U.S. legal issues in the Department of Justice prosecution of Microsoft.... Highly recommended." - Choice"
