European Ruling May Limit Microsoft's Bundling Options | |
|

| Time: 09:38 EST/14:38 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

A judge's ruling that Microsoft Corp. must comply with sanctions imposed by the European Commission while pursuing an appeal of them may affect the company's ability to bundle new technology into its operating system, according to analysts. In a decision issued Dec. 22, Bo Vesterdorf, president of the European Union's Court of First Instance, rejected Microsoft's request that the antitrust sanctions be suspended until its appeal is considered -- a process that is expected to take as long as five years. Vesterdorf, who presides over Europe's second-highest court, said Microsoft must offer a version of Windows without its Media Player software and publish application programming interfaces that should make it easier for rivals to integrate their products with Windows. | ||

| Bundling is becoming irrelevant as broadband Internet usage expands. Any applet or previously bundled software could be made available as a free download. Net result is the staus quo. |
