Nevertheless, the company denied anti-competitiveness, arguing that the software market had benefited greatly from its efforts leading to standardisation and relatively low-cost software for the millions.Escaping Monopoly Monopolisation is inherent to the capitalist system; today’s many takeovers, whether mutually agreed or hostile, are witness to...
