Microsoft's disk operating system, known as MS-DOS, is now installed on about 60 million IBM-compatible personal computers, or 75% of all the PCs in the world. Competitors claim Microsoft abuses its market power, but the company was cleared of all antitrust charges in a Federal Trade Commission probe in February. Last week a federal judge dismissed Apple...
