EU Drops Microsoft Antitrust Charges
By
One of Microsoft’s legal woes has now been wrapped up as the lawsuit brought against them for anti-trust practices has been dropped as users are able to replace Internet Explorers and PC’s can ship without it being installed as well.
The European Union is dropping antitrust charges against Microsoft Corp. after the company agreed to give Windows users a choice of up to 12 other Web browsers.
Microsoft will avoid further EU fines if it sticks by a binding deal with EU regulators to provide a pop-up screen that lets users replace Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or add another browser such as Mozilla’s Firefox, Google’s Chrome or Opera.
