Macworld — by Gregg Keizer , Computerworld Editor's Note: This story is excerpted from Computerworld . For more Mac coverage, visit Computerworld's Macintosh Knowledge Center . The European Union’s antitrust agency on Saturday confirmed that it has charged Microsoft with breaking the law, saying that the company “shields” Internet Explorer (IE) from “head-to-head competition” by bundling its browser with Windows. The CEO of Opera Software, the Norwegian browser maker whose December 2007 complaint sparked the EU’s investigation, welcomed the move. “This is extremely important,” Jon von Tetzchner said in an interview late Friday. “It’s ...

EU Criticizes Microsoft’s IE Un-Bundling, But Does It Matter Anymore?
Wired: Epicenter — EU regulators told Microsoft Friday that they were unimpressed with the software giant’s proposal to sell versions of it’s operating system without a browser built-in, saying that’s the wrong approach to ensuring browser competition. Microsoft floated the idea on Thursday of offering a browser-less version of Windows 7 on Thursday for the estimated 5% of Windows users who purchase Windows in boxed software. Microsoft also suggested shipping an Internet Explorer-less version to computer manufacturers who could then choose what browsers to install on the computers they manufacture - which would let them charge if they like. Microsoft is making the changes ...
