CF files FTC complaint against Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| The Consumers' Foundation (CF), a private consumer watchdog, filed a
| complaint yesterday with the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) against Microsoft
| over the software giant's pulling Windows XP from the Taiwan market in line
| with its migration to the new operating system Vista.
|
| The CF urged the government body to impose sanctions on Microsoft for the
| termination of Windows XP sales in Taiwan.
|
| "We suggest that the FTC slap Microsoft with a heavy fine for impairing
| market fairness," said CF Acting Chairman Hsieh Tien-jen while delivering the
| complaint to the commission.
|
| [...]
|
| "Sixty-seven percent of local users want a return of XP to the market," he
| said, citing the results of another poll.
|
| He described Microsoft's marketing strategy as an abuse of consumer rights.
