EC takes legal action against Microsoft
17-01-2009
The European Commission has begun legal action against the US software giant, Microsoft, accusing it of breaking EU competition rules,by linking its Internet Explorer browser to its Windows operating system. The E-C says Microsoft is harming competition between web browsers, undermining innovation and reducing consumer choice. Microsoft has already received more than two billion dollars in fines from the EU for anti-competitive practices-the largest ever imposed by the Commission.
