Microsoft Faces Fresh Antitrust Complaints

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday February 23, 2006 @03:13AM from the fresh-means-a-new-smell dept.

Rob wrote to mention a Computer Business Online review piece about new anti-trust action against Microsoft on both sides of the Atlantic. From the article: "Other examples of anticompetitive behavior cited by Tangent include bundling of Outlook with Office and Active Directory with Windows Server, as well as the bundling of Windows Media Player and Windows Media Server with its desktop and server operating system respectively. Microsoft did not respond to a request for comment on Tangent's complaint, other than to acknowledge that it was being reviewed, but was more forthcoming in responding to a fresh complaint lodged with the European Commission by the European Committee for Interoperable Systems (ECIS)."

I've also heard that Microsoft bundles bits with bytes.

Quickly posting some inane drivel in an attempt to score first post without getting modded down is getting overdone.

Am I the only one who saw "Microsoft Feces" when first reading the headline?
