EU will not let Microsoft off the hook
The European Union will press ahead with an anti-trust case against
Microsoft despite the company settling its differences with Novell.
According to reports Microsoft agreed to pay rival Novell $536
million to back off antitrust claims.
However the European Commission said that the settlements reached
between the software giant and Novell do "not change any elements of
Microsoft's conduct in the market".
In March the Commission issued fined Microsoft and ordered it to
undertake changes to Windows. Last month Microsoft launched an appeal
against the ruling at the Court of First Instance (CFI) of the EU's
Court of Justice.
According to Associated Press, Commission spokeswoman Amelia Torres
said the company's settlements with the two rival groups do not alter
the necessity for immediate implementation of the remedies in order
to restore effective competition in the market. The fact that Novell
is no longer participating in these proceedings do not change the
facts before the court, she said.
