EU Expands Microsoft Inquiry

Space cowboy writes "The European Commission is expanding its investigation into whether Microsoft has engaged in anti-competitive practices - now it's not just the browser bundling, but also bundling of audio-visual components (such as Windows Media Player). " There's also a Reuters report - what is worth noting, tho', is that the basis for this investigation is in the market for small servers - *not* the desktop market, from what I can see/read. '

  1. That's Nice -- but when do they take on the MPAA? by YIAAL · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Surely the French, who hate American hegemony in entertainment (but weaken their case somewhat by idolizing Jerry Lewis and "Starsky & Hutch") will be agitating to look into the collusive practices of the MPAA & RIAA next. Won't they?

    There are more realistic alternatives to M$ than to the big labels and studios.
