European Union regulators are "studying" a consumer complaint that Microsoft Corp. forces computer makers to sell machines that are preloaded with Windows, excluding other operating systems such as Linux.

The European Commission, the EU's antitrust regulator, discussed the issue in a Wednesday letter to the consumer that sent the complaint. The consumer complained that Microsoft makes users pay for Windows even if they want to remove it or buy a computer without the software.
