The European Commission approved the purchase, under certain conditions, the social network for professionals LinkedIn by the giant of computing, Microsoft, with a operation of about $ 26.200 million.
"The decision guarantees that the europeans will be able to continue by choosing among different professional social networks", said in a press release the european commissioner for Competition, Margrethe Vestager (foto), for whom these networks allow you to "find new job prospects".
The executive community links its decision to respect a set of commitments on the part of Microsoft to preserve competition in this sector in Europe.
So, the us giant will allow manufacturers or distributors of laptop computers can decide not to install LinkedIn in the Windows operating system, developed by Microsoft, said the Commission.
The group is committed in addition to allow "social networking competitor LinkedIn to be able to maintain "current levels of interoperability with the range of Microsoft Office products". (I)
