EU browser case: FSFE says details of settlement will be crucial

,----[ Quote ]
| Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) congratulates the European Commission 
| on its firm stance in the antitrust investigation against Microsoft, which 
| has led the company to offer a settlement. For any such settlement, getting 
| the details right will be crucial for competition and innovation in the web 
| browser market.    
| 
| "To ensure genuine consumer choice, the ballot screen must be made available 
| to Microsoft Windows users around the world, not just in Europe", says 
| Karsten Gerloff, President of FSFE. "The company is upholding its dominance 
| thanks to   
| the network effects created by its illegal practice of bundling Internet 
| Explorer with Windows operating systems in all markets where it sells its 
| software. In a globally interconnected market, remedies must be global."
