Microsoft to sing at EC Oracle hearing

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft will testify to the European 
| Commission later this week in the ongoing 
| debate on whether the Eurocrats will bless 
| Oracle's Sun-acquisition plans.
| 
| A Microsoft spokesperson told ZDNet that 
| Redmond "can confirm participation at the 
| hearing and that the company has previously 
| responded to inquiry from the Commission 
| about the deal." The hearing will be held 
| this Thursday and Friday in Brussels.
| 
| Exactly what Microsoft will tell the 
| Commission, however, is far from clear. As 
| ZDNet notes, The Wall Street Journal reports 
| that both Microsoft and SAP "have already 
| told antitrust regulators they oppose the 
| merger."
