Very symbolic! Microsoft will file a complaint today with the European Commission against Google for abuse of dominant position. Microsoft was the target of the same committee on the same grounds and fined a record amount resigned to return the weapon against one of its biggest enemies. Involved? The market for search engines.
Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel, detailed practices that Microsoft accuses Google: Finally, if you're wondering why bring the battle to Europe rather than in the U.S., Microsoft points out that Google has about 25% market share in the USA but nearly 95% in Europe. More than the fund's complaint is its very existence is an event.
This is the first time in the history of Microsoft that the company launched a complaint for abuse of dominant position. You can see the despair of Microsoft: the company no longer thinks of itself able to catch Google by conventional means and fall back on legal means to slow the growth of its competitor or earn a small market share that it does has failed to conquer time.
The wheel has finally turned.
