Ubuntu have no plans to complain about Microsoft

Canonical have no plans to complain about anti-competitive behaviour by Microsoft to the European Union, the vice president of business development at Canonical has told PC Pro.

Asked whether Canonical had any intentions making a similar complaint to to that made by web browser Opera – which saw Microsoft forced to offer a 'browser ballot' to EU Windows users – Steve George said he doesn't believe it has ever been considered, citing the positive progress Ubuntu is making as a 'better route to reach out to users' and grow the user base.

Whilst he notes that Microsoft has 'much more marketing muscle' he adds that €œThe strength in Ubuntu is our community and reach – through advocates who can spread the message.”

“We have to find different ways of getting our message out.”
