EU Probes Microsoft Again
The EU's attacks on American tech companies appears to be progressing unabated:
“European Union regulators said Monday they were again investigating software giant Microsoft Corp. this time on suspicion of abusing its market position by squeezing out competing Internet browsers and software rivals dependent on Microsoft programs.
The European Commission opened two formal probes, the first move against the company since a court four months ago backed the EU in a long-running legal battle over Microsoft's actions in using its ubiquitous Windows operating system to elbow into new software markets.”
Attention European countries! There's an expression on this side of the pond: A day late and a dollar short. Even if Microsoft is found guilty, it is unlikely to revive firms that were run out of business.
