Microsoft ISP Deals Under More European Fire techweb.com

I guess the death of this horse has been somewhat exaggerated. An interesting snippet:

The commission said it was looking at cross-promotional agreements Microsoft (company profile) had with ISPs, in which the Redmond, Wash., software giant helped to promote the various ISPs in exchange for their promotion of its Internet Explorer browser.

A spokesperson for Microsoft confirmed that the company asked the commission to authorize these agreements and requested an exemption to European Union rules that ban all agreements between companies that restrict competition.


Now, why would Microsoft want to restrict competition? Sounds like a very innovative exemption they're asking for here.

Cheers, Dan.
