TetsuoShima Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 http://www.tcmagazine.com/comments.php?shownews=17252&catid=6 Norway-based browser developer Opera Software has finally shown its fangs as it decided to file a complaint with the European Commission which "is aimed at giving consumers a genuine choice of Web browsers." According to the paper Microsoft is using its dominant position to promote its browser, Internet Explorer, and this in term is hurting interoperability as IE doesn't following accepted Web standards. . . . "We are filing this complaint on behalf of all consumers who are tired of having a monopolist make choices for them," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera. "In addition to promoting the free choice of individual consumers, we are a champion of open Web standards and cross-platform innovation. We cannot rest until we've brought fair and equitable options to consumers worldwide." The charge is nice and imo quite true, their explanation for the charge is quite laughable however... Let's see what comes of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiggy Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 You have got to take your hat off to the modern business man of today. I can tell you what will happen now..........Microsoft will buy up Opera......then all the software developers children after that >:D The reasoning being if you make yourself a big enough nuisance towards MS they just buy you up. Opera want to be bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
