FTC v. Microsoft

FTC v. Microsoft is a legal case where the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) challenged Microsoft’s practices, alleging they were unfair and anticompetitive. The FTC argued that Microsoft used its dominant market position to stifle competition—particularly in areas like software and gaming—by, for example, making it difficult for other companies to compete or develop compatible products. The case seeks to ensure fair competition and prevent Microsoft from abusing its market power. Ultimately, it’s about balancing the company’s business practices with the need for a healthy, competitive marketplace that benefits consumers.
