A Microsoft está pronta para entrar no setor de segurança em 2006, mas a Symantec não entrará com nenhuma representação perante reguladores antitruste, e nem processará a gigante dos softwares.
"Não abriremos reclamações na União Européia ou em nenhum outro país", segundo o executivo chefe da Symantec, John Thompson, referindo-se a União Européia e ao Departamento de Justiça norte americano. Thompson estava respondendo aos jornalistas sobre as informações que a Symantec deu a união Européia sobre o mercado.
Thompson disse que "a Symantec não está envolvida com a União Européia, e não competirá nos tribunais" Em vez disso, Thompson disse que a Symantec competirá com a Microsoft no mercado, pois acredita que a Symantec tem produtos de segurança superiores.
Microsoft is set to enter the security arena next year, but Symantec won't compete by complaining to antitrust regulators or suing the software giant.
"We're not looking to go whining to the EU or the DOJ for anything," Symantec Chief Executive Officer John Thompson said Tuesday, referring to the European Union and the U.S. Department of Justice. Thompson was responding to questions from reporters after an event at the Commonwealth Club here.
Symantec, based in Cupertino, Calif., has responded to questions from EU competition authorities about its role in the security industry but has no intent to file a complaint about Microsoft, Thompson said. "We're not involved with anything with the EU," Thompson said. "We don't need competition in the courtrooms." Instead, Thompson said Symantec will compete with its products, which he said are superior those Microsoft has yet to launch.
