IBM accused of mainframe monopoly

Antitrust law ...: "What law says that IBM has to make SOFTWARE for to run on NON-IBM hardware."

IF refusing to make software for non-IBM hardware can be demonstrated to be a means for IBM to passively enforce a monopoly on a certain category of technology, it then becomes illegal under antitrust law. Its as simple as that. And basically the defenders of these institutions try to pretend that antitrust law simply doesn't exist, shouldn't exist, or shouldn't be enforceable. But it does exist, is enforceable, and should be enforced, rigorously.; Posted by: George Mitchell Posted on: 01/21/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
