Microsoft's dominance in Word under scrutiny
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Microsoft is facing deeper scrutiny from European regulators on whether it is abusing its dominance in word processing and spreadsheets, three people with direct knowledge of the case said.
The European Commission in Brussels has sent a second questionnaire to rivals of Microsoft asking them for additional details on how the world's largest software maker may crimp competition by withholding technical data on Word and Excel, said the people, who declined to be identified because the letters aren't public.
