In a move to basically outflank the EU antitrust investigation, Microsoft has announced that all version of Windows 7 shipped in Europe will not include Internet Explorer 8 by default. This is reminiscent of the Windows XP N editions, which did not include Windows Media Player, but the difference here is that Microsoft will not ship versions of Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 in Europe.

IANAL, but as far as I can see, neither the law nor the principle guiding it is vague at all. On the contrary, I find it pretty clear.
And to act as if the process in the EU is arbitrary and there is no rule of law in Europe is just laughable and insulting. Microsoft is free to take its case to the courts, it did in several occasions and it lost. Why? Because MS broke the law.
And you shouldn't really comment on EU politics if you don't even know which party has Neelie Kroes belongs to, you don't know which parties have the majority in the EC and you don't even know what the role of the EU parliament is. You are just embarrassing yourself.
