 PROFILE
If you look at a computer all day, chances are a Microsoft product is staring back at you. The world's #1 software company provides a variety of software and services, including its Windows operating systems and Office software suite. Momentarily slowed by an ongoing antitrust investigation (an initial ruling to break up the company was struck down in 2001, with a new judge appointed), the company continues to expand its empire, which includes enterprises such as interactive television and video game consoles. Microsoft is targeting services for growth, including its .NET initiative, a plan to extend its software applications into Web-based services. Chairman Bill Gates, one of the world's richest men, owns 14% of Microsoft.
