Europe Cool to Microsoft’s Offer on Internet Explorer - By Kevin O'Brien
European regulators, wary of repeating an earlier mistake, signaled this week that Microsoft’s offer to sell a browser less Windows system on the Continent did not go far enough. The decision has left some antitrust lawyers in Brussels scratching their heads. “Microsoft is offering to sell Windows in Europe without their own browser — you would think this is what the commission wants,” said Alec Burnside, a competition lawyer at Linklaters in Brussels. “You would expect them to say ‘Thank you’ and close the case.”
Note EU-Digest: the EU must not close the case, Microsoft continues to force-feed all kinds of "goodies" into the consumers Microsoft Windows computer system by means of its so called "updates", without providing very specific information on what the consumer is "updating".
