IBM, Adobe, Oracle join EU antitrust case against Microsoft

Some of Microsoft Corp.'s fiercest rivals, including IBM, Sun and Adobe, have joined the European Union's antitrust investigation of the company's Internet Explorer (IE) browser.

The European Committee for Interoperable Systems (ECIS), whose members include Adobe, Corel, IBM, Oracle, RealNetworks and Sun, announced today that the European Commission had granted the trade group "interested third-party" status in the ongoing action against Microsoft.

Jeez I guess it's a party now?

Godmars2906256d ago

Well, its not helping that MS is making IE8 a mandatory download in the US. Trying to.

z1ck6256d ago

why not ? IE8 is amazing a truly masterpiece , microsoft finally did it .

Godmars2906256d ago

1) By what, other than your own opinion, are you basing that statement on, or are you being sarcastic? From what I've heard at the very least its having the same, if not worse, security issues than every other version of IE.

2) You're missing the concept of "free." You don't ram something that's free down someone's throat. They've given no excuse of why it would be required, say like being needed in tandem with W7, but supposedly it will be forced on people still using W98. Anyone with IE6 just sitting in their system.

Heck, last week I received notice that MS wanted to put a monitoring program on my system to make sure that Windows programs are legal. Been getting messages ever since.

FlameBaitGod6256d ago

You must be on a really powerful drug's to make that statement boy Lol

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing34d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit34d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing34d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9234d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
