A coalition of rivals charged on Friday that Microsoft's new Vista operating system coming out next week will perpetuate practices found illegal in the European Union nearly three years ago. The group, which includes IBM, Nokia, Sun Microsystems, Adobe, Oracle and Red Hat, said its complaints made last year are yet to be addressed just days before Vista is due for release.

Isn't this investigation running a bit late? What exactly are they thinking of doing with it a few days before the Vista release?
I guess they could slap a fine them again, of course a better alternative is to just ban vista being sold in the EU for again Microsoft again failing to meet legal requirements, that will certainly show them, but what's the chance of that happening? yeah probably zero.
MS is still going to court over the original complaint, this is about hurting their case and appeals they might make by launching an official complaint concerning their non-compliance with their latest os release. Just making it nice and official for the courts,.
