The District Court determined that Microsoft had maintained a monopoly in the market for Intel compatible PC operating systems in violation of s 2; attempted to gain a monopoly in the market for internet browsers in violation of s 2; and illegally tied two purportedly separate products, Windows and Internet Explorer (\"IE\"), in violation of s 1. United States v. Microsoft Corp., 87 F. Supp. 2d 30 (D.D.C. 2000) (\"Conclusions of Law\"). The District Court then found that the same facts that established liability under ss 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act mandated findings of liability under analogous state law antitrust provisions. To remedy the Sherman Act violations, the District Court issued a Final Judgment requiring Microsoft to submit a proposed plan of divestiture, with the company to be split into an operating systems business and an applications business. United States v. Microsoft Corp., 97 F. Supp. 2d 59, 64-65 (D.D.C. 2000) (\"Final Judgment\"). The District Court's remedial order also contains a number of interim restrictions on Microsoft's conduct.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45539679699095,"sku":"9781530738625","price":1184.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781530738625.webp?v=1767176091","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/opinion-u-s-v-microsoft-corporation-9781530738625","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
