    Microsoft is facing lawsuits and penalties from the US Department for anti-competitive practices in maintaining a monopoly in the operating systems market. While it is a business' goal to make profits, Microsoft's actions have disrupted the software industry and were not ethical as it used predatory tactics to analyze and undermine competitors. To maintain goodwill, Microsoft should change its practices as continuing them would only damage its reputation further and anger software developers and customers.
