EU antitrust chief denies feud with Microsoft
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
The European Union's antitrust chief said Tuesday that she has no personal feud with Microsoft despite an ongoing legal fight between her office and the company.
"Far from pursuing a vendetta against Microsoft, the commission's actions are guided by the desire to create the most innovation-friendly business climate in Europe to the ultimate benefit of European consumers," Neelie Kroes wrote in a letter to the Financial Times.
The EU antitrust commissioner said she is trying to ensure that Windows Vista, the new version of Microsoft's computer operating system, complies with EU competition rules.
