Ex-government cyber official, exec mulled for czar job WASHINGTON - Microsoft's security chief and a veteran of Clinton's and Bush's national security teams are leading candidates for cybersecurity czar, a job that needs White House access and clout to protect networks that underpin the U.S. economy. President Barack Obama promised last month that he would personally decide who would lead the fight against an epidemic of cybercrime and organize a response to any major cyber attack.

Microsoft to sell Windows in EU without browser SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp <MSFT.O> said on Thursday it would ship the newest version of its Windows operating system in Europe without its Internet Explorer web browser, in a move to counter European regulators' concerns that the company unfairly forces out competition from other browser makers. The apparent climb-down comes shortly before the European Commission is due to rule on antitrust charges brought against Microsoft in January, claiming that the world's largest software company abuses its dominant position by bundling its Internet Explorer browser, shielding it from head-to-head competition with rival products. HP to sell Symantec backup on consumer PCs BOSTON - Hewlett-Packard Co <HPQ.N>, the world's biggest PC maker, will help sell online backup services from Symantec Corp <SYMC.O>, which is looking to expand its consumer business beyond its line of Norton security products.
