EU needn't meddle in Microsoft's business
ZDNet | at | by Mike
Microsoft's competitors first took on the Redmond, Wash.-based company in the marketplace and lost. They went to the U.S. courts and lost. They went to U.S. regulators and lost. Now that the competitors have exhausted their domestic recourses, they have turned their eyes to what they hope are the more hospitable shores on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.
The European Union has now handed Microsoft's competitors at least a partial victory--something they were unable to achieve through free and fair competition in the market. In so doing, the European Union will undermine the principles of global economic cooperation and will further deepen the chasm that separates the two continents.
