Brussels hears new complaint over Microsoft

Microsoft faced the first fresh complaint over its market practices in Europe; December 2007, since it lost a long-running antitrust battle with the European Commission in the autumn of 2007.

Opera Software, a Norwegian company whose web browser accounts for slightly less than 2 per cent of online traffic, said it had filed a new complaint with the Commission, in which it accuses Microsoft of abusing a dominant position by tying its own Internet Explorer browser to the Windows operating system.
