In 1998 US v Microsoft, Microsoft came close to being broken up into 3 smaller firms.
Nevertheless the success of Microsoft in cornering various aspects of the software market has led to several anti-trust cases.
In this respect Microsoft has been dwarfed by Google. MSN live search has struggled to gain more than 12% of market share. In one area at least Microsoft has not gained Monopoly power, and that is in the area of search engines. For example Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has become the dominant web browser, although this is mainly because it comes pre-installed on most new computers. Throughout his time in office Bill Gates has been keen to diversify the business of Microsoft.
This version of windows has been the backbone of all future releases from Windows 2000 to the latest XP and Vista. In 1995 Windows 95 was released, setting new standards and features for operating systems. It soon became a best seller and was able to capture the majority of the operating system market share. This was a break through in operating software as it replaced text interfaces with graphical interfaces. In 1990 Microsoft released its first version of Windows. Since its early dominance no other company has come close to displacing Microsoft as the dominant provider of computer operating software.
Thus Microsoft was able to gain the dominant position of software manufacture just as the personal computer market started to boom. Microsoft worked hard to sell its operating system to these other companies.
However increasingly there developed many IBM PC clones (PCs developed by other companies compatible with IBM’s). In the early 1980s IBM was by far the leading PC manufacture. The big break for Microsoft came in 1980 when IBM approached them for a new BASIC operating system for its new computers. He was also involved in several aspects of Microsoft’s business such as packing and sending off orders. In the early days Bill Gates would review every line of code.
