Will Browser Wars Heat Up Again?
Any good news in these times must be worth the Web it's transmitted on (which, I guess has been the way we all get our news these days). For Microsoft, the good news is that the European Commission finally dropped its anti-trust suit against the company. We're not sure if it has more to do with Redmond offering two browsers, or that the EC portends stiff competition in the coming years as MS leaks browser market share.
European users will see a popup on new computers and during Windows updates that will ask to choose among a dozen browser choices,
according to the Associated Press.
As one battle ends, another one that affects the second half of the WinTel monopoly finally gets pitched.
