Microsoft server market share gains irk EU trustbuster
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Nellie Kroes, the top antitrust official in the European Union (EU), told the European Parliament this morning that she is concerned about Microsoft's continued market share gains in the workgroup server market. These gains, she said, are coming three years after the EU determined Microsoft had illegally abused its desktop computer dominance to improve its station in other markets. The issue, apparently, is that the EU's attempts at curbing Microsoft's behavior have been largely unsuccessful.
"Microsoft is constantly gaining market share and that is what is worrying me in the workgroup server operating market," she said. "As a consequence of [Microsoft's] abusive behavior, [the company is] getting positive results. That's not acceptable in my opinion."
