New Windows system upsets competitors

When computer users install the next generation of Microsoft's Windows operating system after October 25, they will automatically get an internet chat program, a new security program, a DVD player and software to make personal CDs.

Complaints have been made that with its Windows XP system, Microsoft is engaging in the same sort of product bundling that gave rise to the present federal antitrust case involving the Internet Explorer browser.

Upset competitor AOL Time Warner has outlined what it believes are new anticompetitive practices.
