微软为何状告盗版?根据微软调查,在美国受盗版活动影响最大的10个州中,1998年经济损失达35亿美元。同年,全国因盗版造成的税收损失比上一年增加4000万美元,地方税收减少了10亿美元。是谁指控微软垄断?美国司法部和欧盟先后曾分别进行独立调查。美国法官杰克逊认定微软在电脑市场的商业行为中“确有垄断事实”。法院的最终裁决可能导致对微软公司实行严厉的制裁。微软如何对付诉讼?比尔·盖茨对法庭调查结果表示“不予苟同”,认为“微软一贯积极而公平地参与竞争”,表示一定要把这场官司“打到底”。不过,据业内人士分析,盖茨的声明也有“寻求和解”的意思。官司结果鹿死谁手?从长远来看,美国司法部门的任何裁决,都不会对微软造成严重的打击。最大的一个可能是,垄断归垄断,裁决归裁决,但垄断和裁决的相互制约,将为软件行业的竞争与发展带来新的动力和势头。
Why did Microsoft sue for piracy? According to a survey conducted by Microsoft, among the 10 states most affected by piracy activities in the United States, the economic losses in 1998 amounted to 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. In the same year, the tax losses caused by piracy nationwide increased by 40 million U.S. dollars over the previous year and the local taxes by 1 billion U.S. dollars. Who accused Microsoft monopoly? The United States Department of Justice and the EU have conducted separate investigations. Jackson, a U.S. judge, found that Microsoft “does have a monopoly fact” in the commercial conduct of the computer market. The court’s final ruling could lead to harsh sanctions against Microsoft. Microsoft how to deal with the lawsuit? Bill Gates on the court’s findings “disagree” that “Microsoft has always been active and fair competition,” said the lawsuit must be “in the end.” However, according to insiders analysis, Gates’s statement also has the meaning of “seeking reconciliation.” In the long run, any ruling by the U.S. justice department will not have a serious blow to Microsoft. One of the biggest possibilities is that the monopoly should go to the monopoly and the award to the award. However, the mutual restraint between the monopoly and the award will bring new impetus and momentum to the competition and development in the software industry.
