Complaint to EU against Microsoft

BRUSSELS: A computer trade group has filed a fresh complaint against Microsoft Corp to the European Commission, alleging the latest XP version of Windows gives the software giant an illegal advantage that kills competition, sources familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. The Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) has filed its complaint as Competition Commissioner, Mario Monti, and his staff near a decision over whether Microsoft committed illegal practices with older versions of its software.
