1998年5月18日，美国司法部和美国20个州首席检察官认为，微软在Windows操作系统中捆绑IE浏览器，此举违反了相应和解协议，并因此对微软提出联合起诉。1998年11月9日，微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨（Bill Gates）在一段出庭作证录像中表示，自己从未有意将竞争对手挤出软件市场。
司法部与20州起诉微软但正是美国司法部的这次调查，为微软引来了100多起其他法律诉讼。继美国之后，欧盟也于2004年表示，鉴于微软已滥用其市场优势地位，故对其开出巨额罚单。不仅如此，美国司法部于2007年11月表示，将把监督微软执行2002年反垄断和解协议的期限向后延长两年。经过这一番“折腾”，微软已经“元气大伤”。

Boo.com, a high-profile online designer clothing retailer based in the U.K., is placed in receivership and its assets are liquidated less than a year after its launch. What makes the failure so notable amidst the many other failures following the dot-com bubble is that many analysts will attribute the company’s poor sales to its poor website’s poor design. The site ignored nearly all usability conventions. Its homepage alone was a major obstacle, forcing dial-up users to wait for several minutes to load its Flash and Javascript pseudo-3D interface. To their enduring infamy, it took the company’s two Swedish co-founders just six months to burn through US$188 million of venture capital.
