Paper Summary:

The paper suggests that Microsoft consider three alternatives: appealing the decision, voluntarily dividing the corporation into several entities, and unbundling its applications programs from Windows. The paper maintains that Microsoft's best course of action would be to unbundle its applications programs from the Windows operating system while offering such programs as a single product at a competitive price.

From the Paper:

"Microsoft's domination of the PC market has resulted in the current lawsuit. On April 5, 2000, Judge Thomas Jackson ruled that Microsoft Corporation had engaged in a widespread pattern of illegal business practices in violation of federal antitrust laws (Rodger, 2000). In particular, he found that "Microsoft's anti-competitive actions trammeled the competitive process through which the computer software industry generally stimulates innovation and conduces to the optimum benefit of consumers" (Rodger, 2000)."
