Does Microsoft Cause Lower Software Prices? | |

| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Slashdot | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

AngusSF writes "OK, slashdotters, , so is this FEE article Antitrust Benefits Consumers? It Just Aint So! true?" AngusSF quotes from the article: "... as Stan Leibowitz and Steve Margolis have shown in their book, Winners, Losers and Microsoft, in virtually any market that Microsoft has entered (financial software, spreadsheets, etc.), the effect has been a dramatic reduction in prices and an expansion of output and innovation. Software products that do not compete with Microsoft's products fell in price by 12 percent from 1988 to 1995, but by 60 percent where there was competition from Microsoft.", and writes "I'd really like to see some on-line evidence of this. Has Microsoft competition in office suites really cut prices there?" | ||
