Microsoft on the back foot

Terry Lane - Monday 17.09.07, 17:59pm

Microsoft is flexing its muscles & stomping its feet at EU decision.

The biggest IT company in the world. often sneered at by website developers & open source gurus. are not the only IT company to occupy a powerful global market position. though they are #1. Google also has a hold over the business world

The vice president of the software giants. Microsoft. added Apple & IBM to that list in his defence. adding that the sentence of the EU Court “will keep many people busy”.

With the the decision to fine the American software giant the Eurpoean Commission obtains “ample and discretionary power”. Smith explained. saying that there are other groups with dominant positions. such as Google. IBM & Apple. as the EU reprimanded Microsoft for having Windows installed on 95% of computers on the world.

“There are many companies in our sectors with big markets shares” Smith said: “Apple has 70% of the digital music sector. Google controls 70-80% of the online search sector. and in some European countries even 90%. and IBM has something between 99 and 100% of servers in Europe and in the world”.

The IT industry “is characterised by successful companies that have big market shares”. the Microsoft representative concluded. expecting that today’s decision “will have an extraordinary impact” on the sector.

Microsoft’s dominance & powerful market position has been caused by excellent marketing more than perfect software. It is for this reason why all our designs. online marketing and website development is built using industry standard. open source compatible programming.
