EU Considering Another MS Antitrust Suit
mesozoic writes "Yahoo! News is reporting that the European Union is considering *another* antitrust suit against Microsoft, this time having to do with anticompetitive behavior in the market for mobile phone software. While I haven't seen any signs Microsoft is going to dominate the industry here in the States, cell phones are a much bigger deal in Europe, so I can understand why they'd be nervous."
I don't think you can upgrade a Windows-based mobile phone to Linux very easily.
With all the shenanigans coming out of Redmond I think it's grossly unfair to accuse Microsoft of having only one ploy at their disposal.

Remember, it's not a crime to have a monopoly.
Anti-trust law kicks in when you have a monopoly, and then try to use the advantages of that monopoly product to try to force your way into a marketplace where you're supposed to compete. You have to face your competitors on a level playing field.
