Microsoft Monopoly Why was Microsoft investigated for antitrust behavior? In the eyes of some legal analysts, Microsoft was investigated and taken to court over antitrust allegations because of the belief that it would not live up to its own word about what it intended (McKenzie and Shughart, 1998).
