Adobe and Symantec want rival products out
ADOBE AND Symantec have asked the EU to force Microsoft to remove free functions within the software that competes with their products.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Adobe is miffed that Vole is installing software that looks like its Acrobat software. Symantec does not like Vole's security centre, which is a little too hard for anyone to switch off and install anyone else's products. Symantec has apparently sent officials to Brussels next week and is brief hacks about the features in Vista it does not like.
It will tell EU anti-trust regulators that Vista will undercut rival makers of computer security software unless it is stopped.
So far neither outfit seem to have acted against Vole in the United States. It is possible that they feel that the US is a little software on Vole on anti-trust issues these days. More
