Antitrust Case (United States v. Microsoft Corporation)

The United States v. Microsoft Corporation was a major antitrust lawsuit in the late 1990s, where the government accused Microsoft of using its dominant software position to unfairly restrict competition. Specifically, Microsoft was alleged to have bundled its internet browser with Windows operating systems to harm rivals like Netscape. The case aimed to prevent Microsoft from maintaining monopolistic practices that could stifle innovation and choice in the technology industry. Ultimately, Microsoft agreed to certain restrictions, and the case highlighted the importance of fair competition and regulatory oversight in promoting a healthy market.
