Question

Can anyone tell me why Microsoft is considered a monopoly?

Answer 1

New PCs that come out, all have windows on them and Microsoft is their creator. If you want your computer to run properly you need Microsoft windows and as there is no compition and no one else you can go to (if you have a PC) you are forced to deal directly or indirectly with Microsolf

Answer 3

mainly because of its OS -DOS/WINDOWS - platform associated with IE, search engines, email services,  and other softwares they are not only compatabile to each other they dominate the marklet with single window

if Microsoft sepoarate their Platform into a separate entity, the question of monopoly will not arise.
