Microsoft working to settle with EU
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Two separate investigations into Microsoft's behavior in Europe might soon be wrapped up, according to Microsoft. The European Commission (EC), the European Union's (EU's) antitrust arm--is investigating Microsoft for allegedly rigging its server software so that it works well only with Microsoft's other software products, and in a separate, recently started probe, for violating user privacy with its .NET Passport service. Microsoft says that the privacy investigation, however, is already completed and no charges will be filed. And when the wider server investigation is done, the company will work on settling that case as well.
