Did Microsoft violate the sherman anti trust act?

Microsoft faced antitrust scrutiny in the late 1990s and early 2000s for its monopolistic practices, particularly regarding its Windows operating system and Internet Explorer web browser. The U.S. Department of Justice argued that Microsoft engaged in anti-competitive behavior, which led to a landmark case. In 2000, a court found that Microsoft had indeed violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by maintaining its monopoly power through unfair practices. The case ultimately resulted in significant regulatory changes and oversight for the company.


) Why was Microsoft the subject of a Congressional investigation What charges were levied against Microsoft and what was the outcome?

Microsoft was the subject of a Congressional investigation in the late 1990s due to concerns about its monopolistic practices, particularly regarding its Windows operating system and its bundling of Internet Explorer with Windows. The charges included anti-competitive behavior and violation of antitrust laws. In 2000, a federal court ruled that Microsoft held monopolistic power and proposed breaking it into two separate companies, but this decision was later overturned on appeal. Ultimately, Microsoft settled with the U.S. government in 2001, agreeing to various restrictions and oversight measures, without being broken up.
