[视频]: Microsoft: Google blocks competition

Microsoft took aim at arch rival Google, claiming in its first-ever complaint to antitrust regulators that Google systematically thwarts Internet search competition, Reuters reported.

据路透社报道，微软瞄准了劲敌谷歌，首次向反垄断调节机构控告谷歌系统性阻碍互联网搜索竞争。

The complaint charges that Google undermines competition by "walling off" content on its YouTube site; blocking access to content owned by book publishers; not letting advertisers use their own data about customers garnered from Google on other sites; and making it expensive for potential competitors to advertise online.

这些指控包括：谷歌通过在其YouTube网站上“屏蔽”内容来破坏竞争；禁止访问图书出版商掌握的内容；不允许广告商使用谷歌从其它网站上搜集来的有关顾客的信息；使谷歌潜在的竞争商在网上做广告的费用更高。

"We're not surprised that Microsoft has done this, since one of their subsidiaries was one of the original complainants," Google spokesman Al Verney said. "For our part, we continue to discuss the case with the European Commission, and we're happy to explain to anyone how our business works."

谷歌发言人阿尔•弗尼表示：“微软这么做，我们并不惊讶，因为它的某个子公司正是起初的原告之一。我们这边会继续和欧盟委员会讨论此案，我们很高兴能向大家解释我们是如何经营的。”
