EU Charges Microsoft

This is crap.

The European Union’s antitrust agency on Saturday confirmed that it has charged Microsoft with breaking the law, saying that the company “shields” Internet Explorer (IE) from “head-to-head competition” by bundling its browser with Windows.

There was a time when other browsers had trouble on a Windows platform, but that’s no longer the case.  I run XP (no, I’ve been avoiding Vista) and I’ve installed, Mozilla, Opera, and even Google’s Chrome.  They all worked fine.  It’s easy to use a different browser than Internet Explorer.  The EU is either behind the times and thinking about Windows 95, or are just trying to continue to extort money out of Microsoft.
