EU Says Microsoft Still Not Compliant

         what about writes "News.com is reporting that the European Union still doesn't consider Microsoft in compliance with its anti-trust ruling." From the article: "Should the Commission issue a final decision against Microsoft, the software giant would face a retroactive fine of $2.36 million a day for the period between Dec. 15 and the date the final decision is issued. The Commission may then take additional steps to extend the daily fine until Microsoft complies with the order. The Commission's letter is just the latest action it has taken in the closely watched antitrust case. "

They should take this a step further and apply this ruling to their MS Office formats.
This is not a Windows help forum, however please do feel free to sign up and agree or disagree with our views on Microsoft.

Yes they do, they're just making sure everyone knows they don't go down without a (expensive) fight. If they just knelt over other weaker opponents might get the wrong idea.

They probably are gaining that 2.3 million back in sales with their prices...
Operating System Advocacy. I've given up on the Microsuck project, as well as any of the minisite spinoffs. You can still view the new beta site, though!
