EC started another trial against Microsoft and its monopolistic practices. The problem is Internet Explorer. EC does not like the fact that every Windows has pre-installed web browser. In their opinion this practice doesn't not allow fair competition on the market, giving the customers limited choice.
It started couple years ago when Opera Foundation officially complained to the EC. Now, the third party is joining the battle against Microsoft. It is its biggest competitor Mozilla Foundation. EC agreed for Mozilla to provide evidences and documentation to support the trail. In return they will gain access to the documents which Commission is exchanging with Redmond.
At the and of this trail the EU might order the companies to offer the customers alternative web browsers, which is many on the market. Microsoft hasn't yet replied to this, but the answer is expected in couple of months.
I don't use IE and i don't advise anybody to use it. It is not safe and safe web browser. I've been using different web browsers. Through my almost 9 years experience I find Firefox the most reliable and the fastest browser on the market.
