Within the late 1990s, a single technologies firm became so unfathomably
wealthy and powerful?aand so hellbent on dominating not only its own market but
a huge and quickly expanding new one?athat the U.S. government dragged the
business into court and threatened to break it up more than anti-trust
violations.
The case was settled, along with the corporation, Microsoft, agreed to play
nicer. However it turned out that the globe had practically nothing to worry
about. As typically occurs within the technologies business, what has really
destroyed Microsoft's choke hold on the international personal computing market
more than the previous 15 years hasn't been a legal threat but a industry
shift.
Just when it looked like Microsoft's vision in the Computer as the center
of your tech globe would result in the creation on the world's initial
trillion-dollar corporation, the internet came along. And it washed over the Pc
sector like a tidal wave swallowing a pond.
When it comes to marketplace value, Microsoft's loss of power has lengthy
been visible: The stock continues to be trading at about half the level it hit
at the peak of your tech boom 13 years ago. The effects on the actual Pc market
fundamentals have taken longer to create, however they are also now crystal
clear. Microsoft's ?°Windows monopoly?± hasn't been a lot destroyed as rendered
irrelevant. That since, due to the explosion of Internet-based cloud computing
and smartphones, tablets, as well as other mobile gadgets, the once all-powerful
platform of the desktop operating method has now been reduced to little greater
than a device driver. So long as your gadget can connect towards the
World-wide-web and run some apps, it doesn't matter what operating technique you
use.
3 charts truly bring dwelling the challenges that Microsoft and other
PC-powered giants like Intel, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard face in adapting to this
new Internet-driven world. Very first, appear at worldwide device shipments. For
the two decades via 2005, the personal pc was the only game in town, promoting
about 200 million units a year. But then smartphones and tablets came along. And
now they dwarf the Pc marketplace.
This shift in private computing device adoption, meanwhile, has radically
diminished the power of the Windows operating technique platform. As not too
long ago as 3 years ago, Microsoft's Windows was nevertheless completely
dominant?athe platform ran 70% of personal computing devices. Now, because of
the rise of Google's Android and Apple's iOS, Windows' international share has
been cut in half, to about 30 percent. More remarkably, Android is now a bigger
platform than Windows.
Lastly, and most lately, this chart from analyst Horace Dediu of Asymco
illustrates that the Pc business is no longer just acquiring dwarfed by the
explosion of smartphone and tablet sales ... it has now really begun to shrink.
Now that individuals possess a choice of devices, it turns out that a full-blown
personal personal computer is typically not one of the most cost-effective,
practical, or simplest method to do what a user wants to do. Rather than being
the center on the individual computing planet, in other words, the Computer is
becoming a specialized office-productivity device.
The news for Microsoft will not be all poor. The firm has been quite
prosperous at moving from a "unit-driven" sales model to a licensing model, in
which businesses spend a charge per user per year rather than purchasing a
perpetual license with every single new personal computer. And Microsoft's
Workplace franchise continues to be extraordinarily profitable and dominant, in
component for the reason that Google, Apple, along with other much more
Internet-centric businesses have created so tiny investment in their competitive
items.
But only 15 years just after the government went soon after Microsoft for
anti-trust violations, the idea that the enterprise ever had a "monopoly" on
anything is difficult to even fully grasp. And the outlook for Windows, plus the
regular Computer small business in general, appears confident to acquire even
worse going forward.

The week in Tech: 5 must-know things
This week in Tech news was all about the mobile market, from the App
Store's fifth anniversary to changes for e-books and tips for watching TV and
movies on the go. Here's what you need to know about the week in Tech:
1) Apple App Store turns 5
A cellphone that lets you order food, share photos, grab a taxi, and log workout time all in one place would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. But Apple's App Store, which celebrated its fifth anniversary on Wednesday, has changed the cellphone market forever and revolutionized the way we go mobile.
How did we get here? USA TODAY'S Jefferson Graham talked to the experts, and they had a pretty simple explanation: apps are fun and cheap (or free). Games have always been popular on PC and Mac, but the offer of Candy Crush Saga for 99 cents is too good to resist. Apple's iOS is also easy to work with for developers.
What's in store for the future? USA TODAY's Ed Baig says the possibilities are endless: "Expect further advances in wearable computers, and the apps that communicate with them. Expect an evolution (consolidation?) in payment apps. And expect apps that will not only get faster and smarter but will do a better job of anticipating our needs and whims, whether we're at home, the office or the car."
2) Video game roundup: 'Grand Theft Auto V,' 'NCAA Football 14'
This week in video games, we got a first look at a highly anticipated franchise game and tested out the latest installment in the NCAA Football series.
On Tuesday, Rockstar Games released a new trailer for Grand Theft Auto Vand a few details about the game. Grand Theft Auto V will follow Michael Trevor and Franklin as they work together in Los Santos (a fictionalized Los Angeles).
USA TODAY's Brett Molina took a turn on NCAA Football 14 and said the game is "a major upgrade from its predecessor." New features include expanded offense options, changes to recruiting and "an overhaul of action on the gridiron."
3) Judge: Apple conspired to raise e-book prices
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Apple worked with five major publishers to raise prices for e-books. The Justice Department claims Apple allowed publishers to raise prices for new releases and best sellers up to $12.99 and $14.99, compared to Amazon's usual price of $9.99
What does this mean for you? Apple denies wrongdoing and plans on appealing the decision. The court may bar Apple from letting publishers set e-book prices for up to two years.
4) TECH NOW: Cutting the cable cord
A home without cable might sound like a scary prospect, but it can be done! Jennifer Jolly took a look at the best new streaming services and ways of finding TV shows, movies and sports without a cable box.
Here's a few of her best tips for getting the most out of a cable-free life:
— Aereo: Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu are the three most well-known streaming services out on the market right now. But you might want to check out a new service: Aereo. The site lets you watch regular TV on mobile devices for $8 to $12 a month (if you live on the East Coast).
— Streaming Search Engine: The site "Can I Stream It?" tells you whether or not a certain TV show or movie is available for streaming. You can also see if certain networks have mobile apps.
— RedBox Instant: The company that offers DVDs of new releases at little red kiosks outside 7-Elevens is now joining the streaming business. The streaming subscription costs $8 a month and includes four DVD rentals per month from Redbox kiosks.
5) Talking Your Tech: Kris Jenner
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past five years, you've probably heard of the Kardashian family. At the helm of this large, media-friendly family is Kris Jenner. USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham sat down with the future host of The Kris Show earlier this week to talk about Twitter and about her job as "momager" to Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob.
Jenner is a social media maven, with over 18.1 million Twitter followers and 1.7 Instagram followers. She shared a few tips for people trying to use social media to build a personal brand: use hashtags, engage people who post mean comments and strike a good balance between business Tweets and personal Tweets.

OEMs in the end of August having a customer update sooner
When Microsoft added assistance for the revamped Get started page into
Windows eight.1, that eliminated the want for dedicated third-party Begin menus,
suitable? Incorrect, say developers like Stardock, Classic Shell, and other
people.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the third-party devs say there is still a need to have for their products, even though Windows 8.1 might be additional friendly to those used for the traditional, or legacy, Start out menu discovered in Windows 7. Quite a few have released updates for the Windows eight.1 preview, but none that spoke to PCWorld stated that they've thrown within the towel.
These solutions fill a need: to ease the transition to Windows 8 and its unfamiliar Commence web page. In several approaches, Windows 8 is just Windows 7 with a tablet interface layered on leading of it, but?asorry!?ano Start off button. Users upset by the jarringly different Start off page had no refuge from it besides third-party alternatives.
"The commence button shortcut to the start screen that Microsoft is providing with Windows eight.1 will not replace the get started menu within the eyes of our developing customer base," Robert McElroy, the advertising and marketing and sales manager at Stardock Corp., said in an e mail. "Customers in search of the functionality on the classic start menu to help them navigate Windows eight in a way that has been familiar to them for many years will nevertheless locate Start8 from Stardock enables that capability seamlessly."
Microsoft, for its element, has said that Windows 8.1 represents a "heck of a great deal of movement, a heck of a great deal of innovation, as well as a heck of a whole lot of responsiveness, all coming to industry within a extremely incredibly rapid timeframe," in the words of Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer during the company's Develop 2013 conference in June.
Many of the functionality that the third-party applications added for Windows eight users, on the other hand, now overlaps with some of what Microsoft has added for the upcoming Windows eight.1. Start8, Classic Shell, and StartMenu8 all boot straight for the desktop, which means that piece from the puzzle, at least, is duplicated by Microsoft. But all 3 also offer the conventional Start out menu, with Classic Shell offering either a "classic" menu, or one within the style of either Windows XP or Windows 7. (Classic Shell's windows 7 ultimate activation key version three.six.8, released in June and compatible with Windows eight.1, was asked to get rid of its version in the Windows flag, which it calls the "Metro button", in the behest of Microsoft.) For its portion, Start8 also gives an selection to shut down from the desktop, that is now in Windows eight.1 as well.
Nevertheless, the developer of Classic Shell mentioned that his item was as viable as ever. "Nobody killed something," he stated, through an exchange although his Facebook page. "The only function they added that Classic Shell (and other people like it) has, is definitely the instant boot to Desktop."
The query now is regardless of whether or not Microsoft's Windows 8.1 update, as well as the functionality it added, offers but extra opportunities for developers like Classic Shell to add attributes. They will have some time; Microsoft has said that it will hand over Windows 8.1 to OEMs in the end of August, having a customer update sooner or later thereafter. PCWorld asked the developers what their plans are, however the Start out developers aren't speaking.
"Too early to inform. It is actually nonetheless a preview, not even a beta," the Classic Shell developer mentioned. "Even without it I've my hands full at the moment."

How to cut the cable cord
If you've made the decision to join numerous cord cutters and ditch cable
TV, congratulations! No one likes huge bills, especially not when you can find
most of your favorite content online for a lot less. But once you've made that
call, how do you get started — especially if you're not that tech-savvy? We'll
walk you through the process from start to finish.
INVEST IN AN ANTENNA
TV antennas have come a long way since wire hangers and tinfoil. Today, a sleek and modern antenna can pick up HD-quality broadcasts from major networks for a fraction of the cable cost. While the quality of the broadcast will depend on where you're located, the price (free after you buy the antenna, which typically cost around $30) can't be beat. If you're interested in watching sports or other live events, broadcast TV is still the most reliable way go.
FIND YOUR FAVORITE STREAMING DIGITAL CONTENT
While watching broadcast television gets you a lot of content, the selection is limited, and you don't have access to cable shows to which you're likely addicted. Luckily, there are a lot of online options that provide on-demand entertainment. The three most well-known are Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. Each has strengths and weaknesses:
Netflix has a huge catalog of online movies, as well as television shows and kids entertainment, which you can stream to your computer, television or mobile device for $8 a month.
Hulu provides the best access to TV shows, offering the most shows online the day after they air. Hulu Plus subscribers ($8 a month) get better access to content, as well as the ability to stream to TV or mobile devices.
Amazon Prime subscribers ($79 a year) also get access to Prime Instant Video, which has a broad selection of movies and television for streaming.
If you're looking for content you can't find on broadcast television or streaming sites — and you can't wait for the end of the season to pick it up on DVD or find it on Netflix — iTunes and Amazon both offer digital video downloads for current television shows (new episodes are typically online the day after they've aired) and new-release movies. Expect to pay $2 to $3 per episode or $30 to $60 for a season of television, with typical DVD or Blu-ray costs for movies.
One word of caution: Keep an eye on how much you're spending per month on this kind of TV and video content. It's easy to tap a few buttons and get instant gratification on a show or two, only to get hit with bill shock when you realize how much you have spent on a few episodes of Game of Thrones and a season of New Girl.
There are also some new names popping up in the streaming TV and movie market, such as M-Go and Vdio.
But the new player getting the most attention right now is Aereo ($8-$12/month). Aereo lets you watch regular TV on any device, and lets you record shows with a DVR. It does it all without any additional cables, set-top boxes or an antenna, because Aereo has created tiny antennas and connected them to the Internet. The downside? Aereo isn't available anywhere on the West Coast … yet. You can check the website for availability.
BRING TV BACK TO THE LIVING ROOM WITH STREAMING BOXES
Now that you have all this entertainment available on your computer, chances are you want to bring that entertainment to your big screen TV. Fortunately, this is easy with set-top media streamers. But before you buy, see if you already have a streaming device in your home: Some televisions, Blu-ray players, and game consoles will also connect to services such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. If you don't already have something, here are a few options that won't break the bank:
Roku: If you want content, Roku offers easy access to more online content than anything else. Set-up is simple: Plug your Roku into your television and connect it to your Wi-Fi network for instant access to streaming media content. The new Roku 3 will cost about $100, while older models start at $50.
Apple TV: Though it doesn't have the variety of Roku, it offers iTunes integration and AirPlay. If you're an Apple fan, both of these are great to have — but if you don't use iTunes or other Apple products, we recommend Roku. Apple TV is priced the same as the Roku 3 at $100.
FanTV: Newly announced Fan TV — expected to launch this fall — is the latest set-top box to get a ton of buzz. It promises to provide streaming, DVR, replace your cable and offer live television in one package. This, plus rumors that both Amazonand Microsoft are launching their own set-top boxes this fall underscore a major trend.
CANCEL YOUR CABLE SERVICE
If you've sorted out how to get great digital content, it's time to cut that cable cord. Most providers will require a phone call to cancel.
If you're getting Internet from your cable provider, be aware that the cost for service may go up without a bundle discount, typically between $10 and $20. If you're told that your bill will go up more than that, it may be time to find a different Internet provider, as well. While you're on the phone, find out what exactly your future bill will be and whether you should expect cancellation fees.
Next up in our four-part series — how to find your favorite shows, sports and other entertainment.
