Symantec Brings Complaint Against MS to EU
linumax writes "Symantec has made a complaint against Microsoft to EC anti-trust regulators over the software giant's entry into the security market. The "informal" complaint allows the Commission to consider whether or not an anti-trust case is merited. The Commission is the executive branch of the European Union (EU)." From the article: "The news comes on the day Microsoft announced plans to begin offering business users an integrated anti-virus and anti-spyware product called Microsoft Client Protection. A beta version of this product is expected to be released by year's end. The company is already offering some customers a beta version of its Windows OneCare consumer security software. At issue is Microsoft's plan to bundle its security software with Windows Vista, the next major version of the Windows operating system due next year."
People don't remember this when it comes to Windows and Microsoft, but the second a flaw in Linux pops up people blame it on the users.
Although this is Slashdot and there is a very simple rule here, anything MS does is bad. Anything that happens on Windows is MS' fault, irregardless if it is true or not.
I am a Linux supporter but the double standards on this site makes me sick. You hear a story about a company leaving Windows for Linux, well dontcha know thats cause Windows sucks so much.
But the second a story pops up about a company leaving Linux for Windows, the company is doing something wrong, the IT staff is incompetent, etc.
Oh well...par for the course for Slashdot.
