EU goes legal against MS - company should open up Windows theregister.co.uk

And now for something completely different. . .

This doesn't look good. The Commission has power to fine violators up to 10
per cent of global annual revenues. It's never gone beyond 1 per cent so far,
but in Microsoft's case the sum could prove temptingly huge. There does
however still seem to be more than a hint of the Commission hoping the US
case will resolve matters for everyone before it needs to push too hard against
the company. Microsoft can ask for more time (it's had a lot of practice in
that) and a Commission spokeswoman said a ruling was unlikely before early
next year. Leisurely, but still faster than the US process. ®

Cheers, Dan.
