EU's antitrust case against Microsoft could mean endless 'crapware' on PCs

Move to open Windows to rival browsers would set perilous precedent, argues Microsoft ally

The European Union's antitrust case against Microsoft Corp. over Internet Explorer could be a nightmare for small- and medium-sized computer makers and set a dangerous precedent, a longtime trade group ally of Microsoft argued today.

Antitrust regulators at the European Commission want to force Microsoft to open Windows to other browsers, such as Mozilla's Firefox, Google's Chrome and Opera Software's Opera. That, said the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), a group with members throughout the technology food chain, would impose an unfair burden on computer manufacturers.

Microsoft in deep trouble ei?

They are always in trouble. I also think this EU is too much, it seems like they are eyeing on big companies like Microsoft for their cash.

Strange as to why other countries don't have as many antitrust problems with Microsoft.
