A top European competition official said on Wednesday that the European Commission was talking with Microsoft about its antitrust investigation and still had outstanding concerns. The Commission has been investigating Microsoft for abuse of a dominant position for nearly three years. It is concerned that Microsoft has designed its dominant Windows operating system to work better with its own servers than those of rivals.

Competition Director General Philip Lowe, asked about Microsoft, said "there is dialogue going on" with all companies being actively investigated by the EU executive.
