Windows 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.

Well, having yet another EU-specific version of Windows that will get no attention, no publicity and thus, won't be used by more than a few. If they hate MSFT policies so much, then go a ban them (or ban the problematic products) and quit bitching. Maybe it's just a way to get some money, it's not like MSFT can't afford it.

I don't really understand, who do you address? It's the group of mostly American corporations (one from Finland), not the EU, that comes with the charges. The EU has rules, sure they will look into this.
So why this accusation of the EU "bitching"?
