Update: The European Commission has started digging anew to find out if
Microsoft abused its dominance in PC operating systems by incorporating its
Media Player software into Windows.

The Commission had been investigating Microsoft for more than three years
before it recently sent questionnaires to companies that make movies,
records and television to determine if the software giant's product can
push others out of the marketplace, a source said. A Commission spokeswoman
said on Friday she would not give any deadline for completion of the work,
saying it would be completed ``in due time.''

The new inquiries, first reported by Bloomberg news, are designed to answer
competing contentions by Microsoft and its critics.
