- Microsoft to unbundle IE from Windows?
Due to near monopoly that Microsoft enjoys on the operating system market,with the Windows platform, the Redmond company has managed to pushadditional technologies, products and services to the foreground, inthe detriment of direct competitors. In this context, the dominance of Internet Explorerover the browser market is intimately connected with the Windowsmonopoly. This is exactly the basis of an antitrust complaint filed byOpera Software ASA, based in Oslo, Norway, against Microsoft. Opera hasaccused the Redmond giant of leveraging its dominant position on theoperating system market with the Windows client, by making Internet Explorer a defaultcomponent of the operating system. According to Opera, Microsoftmanaged, in this manner, to reduce consumer options when it comes tobrowser products.
"We are filing this complaint on behalf of all consumers who are tiredof having a monopolist make choices for them", said Jon von Tetzchner,CEO of Opera. "In addition to promoting the free choice of individualconsumers, we are a champion of open Web standards and cross-platforminnovation. We cannot rest until we've brought fair and equitableoptions to consumers worldwide."
Operahas urged the European Antitrus regulators to force Microsoft tounbundle Internet Explorer from Windows. And in addition, Opera alsorequested of the EU Antitrust Commission to force Microsoft to adoptopen web standards with its browser. As an alternative to strippingWindows of Internet Explorer, Opera proposed that the Redmond companyshould serve rival browser installed by default and placed on thedesktop with the operating system. Microsoft has failed to issue anofficial response at this point in time.
"Our complaint is necessary to get Microsoft to amend its practices",said Jason Hoida, Deputy General Counsel, Opera."The European Court ofFirst Instance confirmed in September that Microsoft has illegally tiedWindows Media Player to Windows. We are simply asking the Commission toapply these same, clear principles to the Internet Explorer tie, a tiethat has even more profound effects on consumers and innovation. We areconfident that the Commission understands the significance of theInternet Explorer tie and will take the necessary actions to restorecompetition and consumer choice in the browser market."
