NEW YORK, UNITED STATES: Microsoft Corporation stock information (L) is seen on a wall of monitors at the NASDAQ stock exchange 08 November 1999 in New York. Microsoft was down by as much as four points early in the day because of a federal court ruling against the software giant 05 November 1999. Microsoft stock recovered late in the day, having little impact on the markets in general. The ruling said that Microsoft has a monopoly in the personal computer operating system market.
