In February 2008, the European Commission fined Microsoft for the record-breaking amount of 899 million Euros, for not complying to the 2004 ruling from Brussels. Today, Microsoft announced it has decided to appeal the fine. "We are filing this appeal in a constructive effort to seek clarity from the court. We will not be saying anything further," the company stated.

And don't come back "It's obvious! They are evil!!".
It amazes me the number of people that jump on the MS hate bandwagon without actually really knowing the companies history...
Take their agreement with Stac, for instance. They had an agreement to add compression to MS-DOS and at the last minute, they canceled the agreement and they put the compression in by themselves. They ended up paying Stac in court.
How about what they did with DR-DOS 5 and Windows 3.0 where the installation spread FUD since MS-DOS wasn't installed or the fact that they did the same thing with DR-DOS 6 and Windows 3.1? Andrew Schulmann showed, using Periscope, how they were not checking for safety's sake--they were checking for DR-DOS.
There were many other incidences, so which history are we supposed to remember?
