For a complaint to have teeth - it must be made by a Corporation.

Interesting conundrum Motorola/Google face.

If they file a complaint - it could be viewed as a "they are saying you lie, obviously you'd say they lie".

Additionally, even if the complaint has teeth and can prove anti-competitive behavior on MS'/Apple's part, MS/Apple will quite likely turn that into a PR (FUD) campaign against Motorola/Google.

Additionally - for a Company attempting to stick to its guns and compete in the Marketplace and avoid looking like they're getting involved in mud slinging, Motorola/Google may likely feel reluctance to file such a complaint.

Makes one wonder how many false complaints the EU Anti-Competition must respond to before they take upon themselves to have the thought "hey, maybe we should take a look at these entities filing the complaints and the potential anti-competitive effects of these complaints.
