The European Commission is ready to impose a fine of 2m Euros ($2.5m; £1.4m) a day on Microsoft. The Commission is expected to rule that Microsoft has failed to fully implement its 2004 antitrust decision. Under the ruling, Microsoft had to supply rivals with information about its Windows operating system.

>"Microsoft got where they are by pushing limits"
Thats really only a fraction of it... they got to where they are by utilizing illegal business practices and stealing intellectual property. if that's "pushing the limits" then so be it, but I feel thats important to clarify as some might think that Microsoft got to where they are today buy offering a better product and then marketing it more aggressively.

They are doing that as we speak: Sun, Novell, Apple, all of them, albeit with their own brands of bogus advertising. Microsoft got where they are by pushing limits, and I think that this time they might have pushed a bit too hard on people who don't feel like wasting time with them.
