U.S. markets recover from steep losses
BRUSSELS, March 29 (UPI) -- The European Union is warning Microsoft Corp. it won't be able to sell its new Windows Vista operating system in Europe if it's loaded with certain features.
Neelie Kroes, the EU's antitrust commissioner, said she expects Microsoft will design Vista in a way that meets EU competition laws, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
"It would be rather stupid to design something that is not," she said.
Kroes' office is concerned about Microsoft's plans for Internet search, which some of its U.S. competitors are worried will be used to unfairly direct computer users to Microsoft's own search service. Microsoft says it will include ways to set the browser to its competitors' services.
Kroes' comments are the latest development in the EU's 7-year fight with the U.S. software maker over anti-trust concerns.
