Microsoft touts rivals' success at hearing
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
The European Commission forced the world's largest software maker to offer a product no one wanted and virtually no one bought, Microsoft told the European Union's second-highest court Monday as it began trying to overturn a landmark antitrust ruling against it.
Microsoft lawyer Jean-Francois Bellis said in his opening statement that the commission made "fundamental errors of fact and reasoning" in its decision two years ago that the company abused its dominant market position to muscle into media software.
