From the We Don't Need No Stinkin' Standards! dept.:
The European Commission confirmed it has received a complaint about Microsoft's business practices from a British government agency Tuesday, but isn't following it up as it normally would with an antitrust complaint, according to a press officer.

....Microsoft said in a statement Tuesday that it will continue to work with BECTA and the Commission to resolve the issues raised in the complaint.

BECTA filed the complaint with the U.K. Office of Fair Trading last October alleging that Microsoft's behavior impedes the exchange of files between Office 2007 and competitors' products and that its licensing practices in the market for software for schools are anticompetitive. BECTA Tuesday forwarded the complaint to the Commission.
