The Microsoft Files
thefactZ Home
Microsoft is a company that inspires strong reactions, both favourable and unfavourable. It is big, very successful and has an almost total monopoly of the PC operating system market. Some of the more sophisiticated computer users, particularly in the Unix/Linux community, are critical about Microsoft and its products. But there are also many who, perhaps in reaction to the slightly condescending attitude of the critics, believe that Microsoft provides much the best there is and that its monopoly is simply a reflection of its superior products, and moreover, may in fact be beneficial (allowing for better integrated products and better development). This site sets out to provide evidence and analysis of Microsoft and its monopoly, with a strong economics perspective.
