Back to court for Microsoft

Microsoft probably have a parking space permanently reserved outside the European Commission due to the amount of anti-competition investigations they have had thrown at them. So guess what? Yep, two more investigations are on the way, the first to look at whether Microsoft unfairly ties its Explorer Internet browser to its Windows operating system, the second will look at the interoperability of Microsoft software with rival products.

This inquiry follows on from complaints made by Opera which we covered at the time, and the pan-European software-makers group European Committee for Interoperable Systems.
