Europe is downright determined to reign in antitrust mischief from Microsoft, which can only be called a good thing, as the U.S.'s attempts have been completely ineffective. Today, two new European cases were announced. The first case is in response to a complaint from the European Committee for Interoperable Systems, a Brussels-based trade group of which Opera Software is a member. (Opera also filed an antitrust complaint against Microsoft in mid-December.) This new case concerns the interoperability of Windows with other software, the Commission said Monday.
The second investigation is looking into Microsoft's tactic of bundling software products with its Windows operating system. This follows a complaint to the Commission by Opera, a Norwegian browser developer. Stay tuned to Microsoft Subnet for more news on these cases.
