Red tape vs Redmond...the never ending story
The European Commission has hit back at suggestions it has got it in for Microsoft over security features built into the heavily-delayed Windows Vista.
In a letter to the Financial Times, competition commissioner Neelie Kroes protested: "I have seen it suggested that the Commission may seek to prevent Microsoft from improving the security of its operating system. This is categorically not the case.
And after saying something sensible, the EU comes up with something ridiculous. Of course they have it in for Microsoft, it is pretty obvious from recent events that they have. The important thing is that they regulate the likes of Microsoft, not legislate against them purely because they are the dominant force in OS manufacture. I feel that recently, the EU has slipped towards the latter rather than the former.
