Symantec is lobbying hard in the EU to have antitrust regulators force Microsoft to open up access to its operating system kernel for security vendors and has threatened to lodge a formal complaint with the European Commission.
Symantec has issued a statement accusing Microsoft of using its operating system monopoly to jeopardize the security of users:
“As a company, Symantec believes that choice among products competing on a level playing field provides the best security. By using its control over the operating system to force users to use only security solutions offered by Microsoft and to limit the ability of independent security vendors to develop compatible security solutions, Microsoft is jeopardizing computer security rather than enhancing it.
"With Vista, customers around the world lose their ability to choose what security solutions best suit their needs. A lack of choice for customers prevents them from having the widest variety of options for security solutions to quickly address a constantly evolving landscape of security threats. In the end, a less secure Internet will result and both consumers and enterprises will find themselves more vulnerable to cyber attack.”
