Drones over U.S. may pose security risks
BRUSSELS, Jan. 19 (UPI) -- Tying Internet Explorer to Microsoft's Windows operating platform gives the program an unfair advantage in the marketplace, the European Commission found.
In a preliminary ruling, the commission said tying the two products together makes Internet Explorer available on 90 percent of the world's personal computers, Zdnet reported Monday.
Internet Explorer is so prevalent it creates an incentive for Web site designers and software developers to create products compatible with it, further fortifying its anti-competitive advantage, the commission said.
A Statement of Objectives was forwarded to the company, which can request a hearing on the matter.
In 2004, the commission found Microsoft violated antitrust standards by tying Windows Media Player to its Windows operating system. That determination was upheld by the Court of First Instance in 2007.
