EC pressure on Microsoft grows
,----[ Quote ]
| Competition authorities typically take one of two routes to dealing with
| companies which are found guilty of anti-competitive action. One option is to
| order a structural remedy, such as forcing a company to split up or spin off
| part of its business. Alternatively, they can instruct a firm to make a
| behavioural remedy, to change the way it does business.
|
| The trouble with behavioural orders is they usually require detailed
| oversight to ensure the firm is complying properly.

Microsoft criticized for aggressive Internet Explorer updates
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft continues to make it all too easy for even tech-savvy PC users to
| dump Firefox or Opera and make Internet Explorer 8 their default browser,
| complains Hakon Wium Lie, CTO of rival browser maker, Opera, which is popular
| in Europe. Lie is particularly peeved that Microsoft continues to label IE8
| as a "high-priority update" in Windows Update, (see link) despite widespread
| criticism about the finer points of how Microsoft actually delivers this
| update.

| different Internet browsers to avoid breaching EU competition rules, the
| bloc's antitrust spokesman told EurActiv.
| Background:

| battle with the IT giant is already taking form.
