4月3日对于整个IT界来说是不寻常的一天,美国联邦地方法院法官杰克逊宣布:美国微软公司通过“反竞争手段”来维持其对个人电脑系统市场的垄断,并滥用这一垄断力量来谋取对网络浏览器市场的垄断,从而违反了美国的谢尔曼反垄断法。杰克逊在长达43页的判决书中还认定,微软“非法地”将其网络浏览器和“视窗”操作系统捆绑在一起,以排挤竞争对手的产品。这位法官认为,微软的行为妨碍了计算机软件业的竞争法则,束缚了技术创新,并认定其行为对消费者不利。判决书同时宣布将举行新的一轮听证会,以决定对微软采取什么样的处罚措施。这类处罚可能包括严格限制微软的商业行为,甚至将微软分割为数家公司。受这一案件的影响,微软公司的股票价格3日暴跌约15%。
April 3 was an unusual day for the entire IT community. Judge Jackson of the U.S. District Court announced that Microsoft has maintained its monopoly on the personal computer system market through “anti-competitive measures” and abused this The monopoly power seeks to monopolize the web browser market and thus violates the Sherman antitrust law in the United States. In a 43-page judgement, Jackson also determined that Microsoft “illegally” bundled its web browser with the “Windows” operating system to squeeze out competitors’ products. The judge thinks that Microsoft’s behavior has hampered the competition laws of the computer software industry, hampered technological innovation, and determined that its behavior was detrimental to consumers. The verdict also announced that a new round of hearings will be held to determine what kind of penalties will be imposed on Microsoft. Such penalties may include strict restrictions on Microsoft’s business practices, and even split Microsoft into several companies. Affected by this case, Microsoft’s stock price plunged by about 15% on the 3rd.
