Microsoft Microsoft has not yet launched a paid anti-virus product, but questions about software bundling and unfair competition are already swirling in Europe. Rival Symantec acknowledged late this week that it has responded to a request for information from European Union regulators regarding the state of the security market and Symantec's role in it.

well..corporate culture in software

well, its all corporate culture. It all depends upon who gets what. Its ironic to single out MS. Any corporate either in US or in europe (now in developing countries) wants to tie up its customer with their products (however bad they are) and get income perpetually and regularly (be it services or products). Its the rulers to protect people's rights and people themselves have to protect. Neither is happening in a partisan rule.

well, this will go on like this till someone (powerful) wakes up and realizes that corporate culture of swindling customers is going against them.

Till that time, there is no point in accusing MS or IBM or Sun or Redhat. Its all corporate culture.

Its also ironic that they have 98% of the market. Go figure.
