Microsoft's strategy to deter entry into its key markets suggests that the company is not confident about its position in the market and is therefore an insecure monopolist. This is evident from its history of anti-competitive practices, such as bundling software and operating systems, imposing restrictive contracts on suppliers and computer manufacturers, and engaging in predatory pricing. A pure monopolist would have complete control over the market, while a cartel monopolist would be colluding with others to control the market. Microsoft is not a government-protected monopolist, as it has been subject to several antitrust investigations and lawsuits.
