Microsoft said Thursday it was on track to launch its Windows Vista operating system in Europe in January but again asked the European Commission to detail concerns it may have with the system.
"The release of Vista, as far as we are concerned, remains on track. However, we have received no clarity as of yet from the Commission over their concerns," said a Microsoft spokesman at the release of a study it commissioned on the potential economic gains from Vista.
"To say nothing creates an uncertain environment. We urge the Commission sooner rather than later to come forward with their concerns," the spokesman said.
The European Union's executive Commission, which has been involved in a long antitrust battle with the U.S. software company, this week warned Microsoft against foreclosing competition in computer security by tying new security features into Vista.
