Globalisation Institute Brussels, calls for Unbundling Pre Installed Windows
Computers in the European Union should be sold without a bundled
operating system, according to this submission to the European
Commission. It says that the bundling of Microsoft Windows with
computers is not in the public interest, and prevents meaningful
competition in the operating system market.
Operating systems, it says, are not a natural monopoly, requiring just
one supplier. Instead, in a competitive market, there would be a broad
compatibility between different supplier’s products. “Competition would
encourage open standards and interoperability as vendors would, for
competitive reasons, want their products to interact with other vendors’
products,” the submission says.
