BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission, fresh from a major court
victory over Microsoft, launched new antitrust investigations into the
software giant on Monday, on suspicion it abused its market dominance.

Brussels will see whether Microsoft broke competition rules to help its Web
browser and its Office and Outlook products, after complaints from Norwegian
Web browser company Opera and a coalition of technology firms including IBM.

The move goes to the heart of the company's lucrative near-monopoly over
personal computer operating systems, word processing, spreadsheets and
office collaboration software.

The Commission is asking if Microsoft used the same tactics to hamper rivals
that the European Union's second-highest court found illegal in September,
in the culmination of a 6-year antitrust investigation.

The Commission, Europe's top competition regulator, made no new charges
against Microsoft but said it "will further investigate the case as a matter
of priority."

Microsoft said it would cooperate fully. "We are committed to ensuring that
Microsoft is in full compliance with European law and court obligations," it
said in a statement.
