Techweb schrijft dat Microsoft door de CCIA (Computer and Communications Industry Association) beschuldigd wordt van het toepassen van anti-competetieve trucjes om een monopolie te verkrijgen op het gebied van server software. Microsoft wimpelt het rapport af als bullshit en beweert dat de CCIA een belangenorganisatie is van haar concurrenten:
"The threat of Microsoft gaining server dominance by leveraging their desktop monopoly is real. By designing technological tie-ins, driving IT managers toward homogenous Windows environments, blocking competitive server operating systems through Microsoft proprietary interoperability, and requiring the installation of Windows 2000 servers to gain full use of the Windows 2000 desktop, Microsoft is replicating the tactics used to bring IE to dominance in the browser market," the report said.A Microsoft spokesman said the report contained many errors. "This is nothing more than a partisan attack document from an organization representing most of Microsoft's major competitors," said Microsoft spokesman Mark Murray. "It should not be taken seriously," he said.
