Microsoftize

A global or transnational corporation that desires/attempts to monopolize the global market, outsource valuable jobs to economically lesser developed regions/countries, and obliterate competitors within the same business sector. The prefix "micro-" is misleading, as Microsoft is not by any means a small corporation.
Microsoft Corporation has often attempted to Microsoftize the global market through their computer services, especially in the United States. As a result, several antitrust lawsuits have been filed against the multi-billion dollar corporation.

A] Microsoft Office 2000
B] Microsoft Office 97
C] Microsoft Office Pro
D] Microsoft ...
E] Microsoft ...
F] Microsoft ...
G] Microsoft ..."

('Microsoftian' in that you can only choose 'Microsoft' from the list. This list does not allow users to select 'Star Office', 'Open Office', 'Applixware', etc., all of which are office software suites that are in current use but are also NOT Microsoft software.)
