they have a major piece of the software market
more than 1/3 of the gaming market
they also got a slice in the tablet market
they even got skype
and now they want the cellphone market too.
obviously their windows 8 is shit, their xbox one is going to be shit, and nokia phones have been shitty too, but damn are they getting big.
admitted they still quite aren't in the same scale as sony in japan, but almost every one runs their software in the personal computers (office products for mac, other software try to have compatible format, but they just aren't compatible).
so this gets to my point: microsoft has been sued for monopoly before because it had too much control of the market. is this the time again to question whether microsoft is getting too big with the acquisition of nokia? should the government ever step in to other people's business and force them to split up?
