EU Anti-Trust Commission: Small Microsoft Victory

The EU anti-trust problem with Microsoft has spiraled to a settlement at last. This is according to a statement made Wednesday by the EU Commission. Under the settlement deal, Microsoft will offer a choice screen of five browsers (Firefox, Opera, Google, Internet Explorer and Safari) to users to make their choice as to which they will like to install instead of bundling Windows and Internet Explorers together. PC Vendors are to disable Internet Explorer completely.

Microsoft is to report every 6 months to the European antitrust commission about the settlement and the disclosure of its interoperability plan. The settlement is expected to encourage web browser companies to innovate.
