Davina Garrod was quoted by IDG News Service on October 12 in regard to a new complaint against Microsoft which has reportedly been submitted to the European Commission by a security software provider. Last year, a Commission ruling found that Microsoft abused its dominant market position by bundling its Media Player software with its Windows OS without a legitimate business justification. Ms. Garrod commented that this ruling only applied to the bundling of the Media Player to the relevant Windows OS, "The decision is limited to the facts of the case and so does not prohibit Microsoft from bundling other products with its OS if it wants."

"It is unlikely Microsoft is going to get out of it now," commented Ms. Garrod. "I'm not going to rule out the possibility of a settlement, but I think it's unlikely."
