WinNetMag | at | by Mike
Last week, after 6 years of investigation, the Brazilian government cleared Microsoft of allegations that the company prevented competition in the country's software sector. The antitrust win was a rare one for the software giant, which for the past few years has found itself the subject of major anticompetitive court cases in the United States and Europe.
"It is Microsoft's priority to conduct its business in a respectful manner and in agreement with the laws and regulations of the countries it operates in," Rinaldo Zangirolami, senior attorney of Microsoft Brazil, said. "We have acted responsibly while seeking to build the best products and services we can to meet the needs of our customers. We have collaborated over the past 6 years with the Brazilian authorities, and we are very pleased with the outcome of the case."
