Microsoft was investigated for antitrust violations by the [[Department of Justice]], and in 2001 the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed the finding of the trial court that monopolization by Microsoft had violated the [[Sherman Act]].<ref>United States v. Microsoft Corp., 346 U.S. App. D.C. 330 (D.C. Cir. 2001).</ref> The appellate court, however, overturned the lower court ruling to break Microsoft up and instead remanded the case to a new trial judge with instructions suggesting a less drastic remedy. By then, President [[George W. Bush]] had replaced [[Bill Clinton]] and the Bush Administration dropped the demand of the [[Clinton Administration]] for a break-up of Microsoft.

Devoid of [[conservative]] leadership, Microsoft was neither innovative nor competitive, and by 2014 it had been far surpassed by Apple, Google and smaller, innovative companies. In 2014, Microsoft announced layoffs of 14% of its workforce, totaling 18,000 jobs.<ref>http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-layoffs-2014-7?op=1</ref>

Devoid of [[conservative]] leadership, has somewhat lost its competitive lead, and by 2014 it had been far surpassed by Apple, Google and smaller, innovative companies. In 2014, Microsoft announced layoffs of 14% of its workforce, totaling 18,000 jobs.<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-layoffs-2014-7?op=1</ref> However, this was only temporary. By 2019, they were thriving again, along with their liberal and selfish ways.

+

They hire massive numbers of people at high salaries, from around the world, and this drives the cost of housing up greatly. A 1,000 square foot house nearby, built 60 years ago, now sells in two days for $750,000.{{citation needed}} Plus, by bringing in so many people from around the world, there is tremendous overcrowding. So developers manipulate retail properties, and build massive apartment buildings, attracting Microsoft employees who often care nothing about the Eastside culture and dignity, and this causes the overcrowding and terrible traffic.

+

A ten-minute commute in 2015, can now be an hour.

+

Most people who have lived near Microsoft for years, are now reluctantly leaving their homes of many years because of the taxes, traffic, and the vast change in the caliber of people in the areas near Microsoft. Microsoft has begun a multi-billion dollar renovation of some buildings on the main campus. Nonetheless, some say that this overall liberal mentality has ruined the culture and lives of honest citizens within a ten-mile radius of Microsoft.

+

Microsoft was recently listed as one of numerous leftist-controlled companies that have gone "[[woke]]" and now support the criminal rioters of [[Antifa]] and [[Black Lives Matter]] in the wake of the [[2020 leftist riots]].<ref>[https://gab.com/a/posts/104311289660016704 Here Are The Companies That Support Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and Want You Dead] at Gab.com</ref>

+

Additionally, Microsoft has made in clear that they want to eliminate individual privacy online. For example, they announced in 2021 that their "Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity" (C2PA) was working on making every file traceable back to its original author. Under the guise of fighting "misinformation," this plan would apparently result in every image, video, audio clip, etc. bearing an embedded tag which identifies its original creator's true identity, if successfully implemented. With them in this effort are also a number of other tech companies, including [[Intel]] and [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]].<ref>Misinformationhttps://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/02/25/bokhari-microsoft-and-friends-want-to-destroy-online-privacy/</ref>
