WHAT NEXT IN THE MICROSOFT SUIT
The Justice Department's top anti-trust prosecutor says this week that the government is looking at a full range of remedies. It wants to find the appropriate punishment following a judge's ruling that Microsoft is a monopoly, including the possible breakup of the software company. "We are looking at the range of sanctions; we're talking to people in the industry, people who work with Microsoft, people who manufacture computers and we're doing an analysis to make sure that we have a remedy that will promote competition, assure innovation and promote consumer choice, " he said. He thought the judge was quite clear that innovation has been impaired and he had heard all the evidence.
Meanwhile, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said in a letter published today that the software maker is committed to "a fair and responsible" resolution of the anti-trust trial.
(8) "We've been here before in a first lawsuit, " he said. "And eventually the courts came out on the side of the consumer, saying that all companies should have the ability to innovate their products and take their chances in the marketplace."
(9) "As this case moves toward resolution, Microsoft's 30, 000 employees are focused on creating the next generation of products that will deliver the benefits of the Information Age, anytime, anywhere and on any device, " Gates wrote. (10) .
On Friday, Jackson took Microsoft to task for numerous instances of anti-competitive behavior, including its dealings with America Online over the latter's browser choices, its contracts with PC makers, which forced them to feature prominently the Internet Explorer Web browser instead of Netscape's competing product. (11) .
The judge noted that Microsoft's own studies confirmed that Microsoft could have charged only $ 49 per Windows upgrade and still remained profitable, and that it had enough power within the market to charge $ 89. (12) It is through high "barriers to entry", in other words, by making it more costly to create competing software.
A Bob Herbold, the executive vice president and chief operating officer for Microsoft, said that the judge's ruling this week is just a first step in the process that is just getting under way.
B Microsoft's competitors know that the company in fact has a referee starting directly over the shoulder every time it moves on a playing field.
C What's more, Microsoft erected the barriers to keep others out of the marketplace.
D The Justice Department's top anti-trust prosecutor says this week that the government is looking at a full range of remedies.
E Jackson said that the company took that additional profit and invested it not in its own products but in efforts to keep other companies out of various software markets. Meanwhile Bill Gates, in a full-page advertisement published in the Washington Post and addressed to the company's customers, partners and shareholders, commented on Friday's ruling.
G He claimed that Microsoft is committed to resolving this matter in a fair and responsible manner, while ensuring that the fundamental principles of consumer benefit and innovation are protected.

Microsoft refuted all those claims in its brief Tuesday, citing numerous cases and court findings over the past 30 years. The company said the case law demonstrates that it did not engage in anticompetitive conduct that contributed significantly to the maintenance of a monopoly. Microsoft also cited the June 1998 Appeals Court ruling that called the union of Windows and Internet Explorer "a genuine integration" The brief comes one week after reports began circulating that the government is preparing to propose the breakup of Microsoft into two or three parts.
It restates many of Microsoft's defenses, claiming that the integration of Web browsing software into Windows benefited millions of consumers and that the software vendor did not prevent users from obtaining Netscape Navigator. Jackson's findings of fact expressly found that "many—if not most—consumers can be said to benefit from Microsoft's provisions of Web browsing functionality with its Windows operating system at no additional charge," the document says. The brief further states that the findings of fact did not say that Microsoft acted with a specific intent to obtain monopoly power in the market for Web browsers. "The Court instead found that Microsoft attempted to increase Internet Explorer's usage share to such a level as would prevent Netscape Navigator… from becoming the 'standard' Web browsing software," the Microsoft brief said.
While the government argues that Microsoft's actions may have made it more difficult for Netscape to use certain channels of distribution, Microsoft's filing cites numerous cases that demonstrate that its actions were within the bounds of competition defined by the law. Microsoft also rejects the government's claim that its licensing agreements illegally prevent computer manufacturers from modifying the first screen that a user sees when Windows launches, saying the license merely restate rights that Microsoft enjoys under federal copyright law. The two sides in the trial, which began in October 1998, can now submit rebuttals to each other's conclusions of law. Oral arguments are scheduled for February 22, and a ruling is expected in the spring.
What conclusion did the government and 19 states draw on Microsoft's case？
A．Judge Jackson in his findings of fact issued November 5, 1999 said Microsoft "enjoys a monopoly" in the personal computer market.
B．Microsoft engaged in illegal "monopoly maintenance" to protect and extend Windows dominance and then tried to monopolize the Internet browser market.
C．The antitrust law should be applied to Jackson's findings of fact on Microsoft.
D．All of the above.

The comparison is both a compliment and a reproach. It is a compliment because it implies that Google has now become the company that defines the environment in which other technology firms operate, just as IBM and Microsoft once did. As with Microsoft in its heyday, Google is the technology firm where the smartest geeks aspire to work; it embodies the technological zeitgeist; and it is a highly regarded company that has become a household name. But the comparison is also a reproach, because it highlights growing concern that Google is now powerful for its own good, or that of the industry, or indeed that of the world at large.
For many people, Google provides the front door to the internet. For many online businesses, their position in its search ranking—the workings of which are a closely guarded secret—is a matter of life or death. Too much power is thus concentrated in Google's hands, say critics, including Microsoft's Bill Gates. Microsoft and other big internet firms, including eBay, Amazon and Yahoo!, are now said to be negotiating various alliances in order to provide a counterweight to the new behemoth. Smaller firms feel even more vulnerable. As soon as Google says it is moving into a particular market, small fry in that market now dart for cover, unless they are lucky enough to be acquired by Google.
Yet there are some crucial ways in which Google differs from Microsoft. For a start, it is a far more innovative company, and its use of small, flexible teams has so far allowed it to remain innovative even as it has grown. Microsoft, in contrast, has stagnated as a result of its size and dominance. It is least innovative in the markets in which it faces the least competition—operating system, office software and web browser—though it is, curiously, still capable of innovating in markets in which it has strong rivals (notably video gaming).
More important, however, are the differences that suggest that Google will not be able to establish an IBM—or—Microsoft-style. lock on the industry. IBM's dominance was based on its ownership of the proprietary hardware and software of its mainframe. computers. In the PC era hardware became commodity and Microsoft established a lucrative monopoly centered on its proprietary operating system, Windows. But in the new era of internet services, open standards predominate, rivals are always just a click away, and there is far less scope for companies to establish a proprietary lock-in.
Try to avoid using Microsoft's software for a day, particularly if you work in an office, and you will have difficulty; but surviving a day without Google is relatively easy. It has strong competitors in all the markets in which it operates: search, online advertising, mapping, software services, and so on. Large firms such as Yahoo!, which previously farmed searches out to Google, have switched to other technologies. Google's market share in search has fallen from a high of around 80% to around 50% today. Perhaps the clearest evidence that Google's continued dominance is not inevitable in the fate of Alta Vista, the former top dog in internet search. Who remembers it to today？
Without a proprietary lock-in to protect its dominant position, Google will have to work hard to stay on top. And that, ultimately, is where the co
A．Google dominates the online business and plays a vital role in the market.
B．Too much power is concentrated in Google's hands.
C．Google can decide the life and death of Microsoft and other big internet firms.
D．Google exerts great pressure on its rivals.
第10题
Martin White, correspondent: I heard the government planned that Microsoft would have to come up with the details of this breakup itself, how to divide its people, its-property, its cash into two still very powerful pieces.
To accomplish the breakup, Microsoft would have to sell of about half its assets to create two companies. One would control most of Microsoft software, including Word, Excel and Internet Explorer. The other company would consist mostly of Windows operating system. But only one can keep the name of Microsoft. The other company would become completely independent.
For the first 10 years, the two companies would not be allowed to recombine. And Microsoft's top executives, including Bill Gates, could own stock of only one of them. The result, said Joel Klein, antitrust chief of the Justice Department, would be an exciting, and innovative set of new products with more choices and lower prices for America's consumers.
17 of the 19 states that sued along with the government signed on to the plan, but two states, Ohio and Illinois, dissented, asking that Microsoft be left intact but ordered to change its anti-competitive behavior.
For Microsoft, the breakup plan was not a surprise. Today Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates promised a long court fight and predicted a victory. He said he didn't believe the courts would uphold these radical regulatory suggestions which would hurt consumers and undermine the high technology economy.
Even if the court accepts the government's breakup plan. Microsoft would remain intact as it appeals, and that would take years. But government also asks the court to impose immediate restrictions on the company's business practice even as the court battle drags on.
Anchor: Thanks very much, Martin White in Washington. So the government has won the first battle to prove that' Microsoft's size and power are problem. But it's not clear at all if breaking up the software colossal would make things any better for consumers. Here's our correspondent, Susan Kelley.
Susan Kelley, correspondent: There's no consensus today that breaking up Microsoft would be good for consumers. For one thing, they could end up paying more for Microsoft products. Two companies mean two of everything, including two manufacturing operations.
An industrial analyst: If you run two separate, distinct companies, you lose your economy of scale. That's gonna increase cost for running the company that will ultimately be passed to consumer.
Susan Kelley: There's also no agreement now on whether breaking up Microsoft would improve the quality of products available to consumers. Some said if Microsoft was forced to share its unique code that operates Windows, competitors would be able to make better products to go with Windows. What would it be, though, is a lot of companies deciding to write competitive products because they now think the playing field is level. Others claim that progress in bringing new products to market will slow if the Microsoft brain trust is split in two.
An industrial analyst: There's a lot of cohesion that takes place by working as one solid entity rather than a separate distinct group of companies.
Susan Kelley: As for competitors eager for a breakup, they will still find themselves facing formidable foes. Microsoft is by far the Number One company. If you split it in two, it will be the Number One and Number Two software companies in the world.
Bottom line: Plenty of reasons to wonder if the government's proposal to brea
A．Microsoft used computer systems to win competition.
B．Microsoft was broken up earlier this month because of the rapid growing broadband market.
C．Microsoft broke anti-trust law by using its monopoly in the market.
