I am sorry for you , a failed Microsoft employee !!!!
Secondly, yes, Microsoft controlled 90% of the desktop OS market , but it does not means it has a monopoly if it can lose it overnight because the change of technology or market.
Thirdly, I do not think it is wrong for an executive to say "cut the air of competitors"
in the company's meeting ( your example about killing some is rediculous and did not apply here) or it is a criminal act, it all depends on how the air will be cut. The air can be cut as a result of more advanced product , which will cut the air of the competitors, so what is wrong with it. In the hi tech business, competition is everyday's business.
It is a matter of die or survive . If you can't compete , you lost the market , and you die, as a previous Microsoft's employee, you should know that, the sense of crisis.
In the business world, some one will lose and some one will win as a result of competition , as a result , the loser's air supply will be cut off, so what is wrong to
say "cut the air of the competitors" ? It is just another way to express the fierce competition. It is equally said to compete the competitors to death .
From your post , I see your mind is just full of hate and prejudice against Microsoft.
The e-mail did not prove a dam thing at all. Intention is onething, and real action is another. If the DOJ will use these e-mail evidence to be against Microsoft, then I see
American jusitice is in danger.In the future , employee in all US HI TECH companies can not send any e-mails, who knows any of them will be used as evidence by the DOJ to fight against the company . So, all companies in the Hi Tech industry will just shut off their e-mail systems.
As to these Video tape, well , what is wrong with it ? Did Microsoft provide another
set of video tape with the DOJ people on site ?
Again, this case is about :
1) Abuse monopoly power against the competitor and which hurt the consumers.
So, to make it a case, DOJ has to proved
a) Microsoft has monopoly
b) Microsoft Abuse the monopoly power against the competitors
c) as a result of b) , consumers got hurt.
So far , I see none of the above is proved by the DOJ !!!!
Talking about Monopoly, the DOJ is the biggest monster which promotes monopoly
and prohibits competition with patent right . |
