". – The Commission confirms that its ongoing Microsoft investigation is founded on an exhaustive analysis of the compatibility of Microsoft's business practices with the European Union anti-trust rules and hence on the effects of these practices within the EU. The Commission intends to ensure that any final outcome is beneficial to consumers and to innovation in the markets concerned and that this outcome sets an appropriate standard by which to examine future contact.
The Commission is naturally aware of the developments in the United States' proceedings. However, the Commission stresses that the nature of the respective cases in the EU and the US is different – both factually and legally – and hence the Commission is examining its case on the basis of the EU's anti-trust rules. In this respect, whilst the Commission will take into account the settlement between the US Department of Justice and Microsoft, in view of the already outlined factual and legal differences between the two cases, the Commission cannot exclude seeking different remedies in certain areas."@en1
