title: Winners, Losers & Microsoft: Competition and Antitrust in High Technology (Independent Studies in Political Economy)
author: Stephen E. Margolis
description: In <i>Winners, Losers &amp; Microsoft</i>, two top economists punch some big holes in the government's antitrust case against the software behemoth. Stan J. Liebowitz and Stephen E. Margolis argue that government lawyers are dead wrong to say that consumers are being forced to accept inferior standards and high prices because of Microsoft's hegemony.
