The Microsoft monopoly

The Microsoft monopoly

The United States justice proposes to split the empire of Bill Gates in two: Windows on one side. Internet and software from the other, after the computer company was found guilty of violating anti-trust legislation. The Windows operating system equips nearly 90% of computers worldwide. The same is true for the Internet browser Explorer which holds 80% of the market as well as Microsoft software. In a Surcouf store in Paris, an employee and a customer express their feelings about the Microsoft monopoly: - Interview with Olivier Théveneau, head of the office sector at Surcouf in Paris: "Windows remains the product that exists on all PCs" - Interview with Joël LEFEVRE: "It’s too much. It would be necessary that there are several software that can be created without Microsoft having the monopoly... Microsoft, it’s expensive"
