Microsoft Wins Extension From EU On IE Antitrust Issue
Like Windows Media Player before it, Internet Explorer remains at the heart of the European Commission's current beef with Microsoft: the Commission has accused Microsoft of breaking antitrust laws by shipping Windows with Internet Explorer installed.
But the Commission has extended its original response deadline of March 12, leaving Microsoft until April 21 to answer the charge. Its original goal stays the same however, which is to force Microsoft to offer a choice of browsers in copies of Windows sold in Europe; Google and Mozilla both have argued that IE's pre-installation poses an unfair advantage against the establishment of alternative browsers.
