Microsoft wants EU to learn from its U.S. victory | |

Microsoft says a U.S. antitrust court victory last week has a lot to teach Europeans at a time when the software giant faces a major antitrust case here, but experts differ over whether the U.S. decision will make a difference. European Union Court of First Instance Judge Bo Vesterdorf is considering a Microsoft request that he suspend sanctions imposed by the European Commission for the firm's abuse of its dominance of personal computer operating systems. Vesterdorf will make his decision on the heels of a U.S. Court of Appeals decision in Washington that gave Microsoft a sweeping victory by essentially upholding a deal on remedies that it negotiated with the Justice Department. "I do hope that people in Europe and around the world will pause and perhaps take a bit of time" to read the decision, Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith said, noting it "addresses many of the precisely same questions that are front and center in Europe." | ||

I haven't followed the EU case closely to see exactly what they are doing. But we have two different cultures, and they have two different sets of rules. It's not so surprising that Microsoft would have to do business differently over there than they do over here.
Corporatism is getting a little bit out of hand in the US, although I was encouraged to see Congress refused to give United any more bailout money. If their management can't run an efficient business, the market should correct. |
