Microsoft says it plans to file a European antitrust complaint against Google, accusing the firm of trying to edge it out of the search market.
The software maker claims that Google used its dominant position to restrict the growth of Microsoft services.
It cites a number of anti-competitive practices, including Google limiting the ability of Microsoft Bing to index web content.
Google said it was not surprised by the move and would happily explain itself.
