Microsoft Corp. will make a separate version of the Windows 7 computer operating software for Europe that does not include its Internet Explorer Web browser. Microsoft is trying to head off another antitrust scuffle with regulators there.
At the same time, Microsoft has left open the possibility that this measure will not satisfy the European Union.
The EU said in January that the software maker’s practice of selling Internet Explorer as a part of Windows violates its antitrust rules.
