FSFE to EC: Dont waste an opportunity with a hasty deal

The FSFE's Karsten Gerloff
blogs
about two EU antitrust cases involving Microsoft.
"
High Noon in Brussels. At the end of her term, competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes is wrapping up two open cases against Microsoft. The company offered to settle in July 2009.
FSFE is involved in both of cases. We are concerned that the Commission may end up reversing years of successful antitrust work if Neelie Kroes settles for far too little in order to close a deal, any deal. That would mean that Europeans remain stuck with the present Microsoft monopoly in most areas of the desktop."
