EU's case against Microsoft could burden PC makers

The European Union's antitrust case against Microsoft over Internet Explorer could be a nightmare for small- and medium-sized computer makers and set a dangerous precedent, a longtime trade group ally of Microsoft argued today.
Antitrust regulators at the European Commission want to force Microsoft to open Windows to other browsers, such as Mozilla's Firefox, Google's Chrome and Opera Software's Opera. That, said the Computing Technology Industry Association, a group with members throughout the technology food chain, would impose an unfair burden on computer manufacturers.
