The European Commission is launching two new anti-competition investigations against US computer giant Microsoft. The first will look at whether Microsoft unfairly ties its Explorer internet browser to its Windows operating system. In the parallel investigation, the Commission will look at the interoperability of Microsoft software with rival products. Note: Remember the OSNews comic? Here is a new comic, which, for now, is attached to the story it relates to. We are working on a separate section for the comic, but until that is done, I will sporadically publish comics this way. I have a whole stack of comics ready for when that section goes live - and you can see the name for the comic too, if you look "closely". Enjoy the new comic, titled "Hawaii".

I could care less about the marketing guerilla called Microsoft or legal suits against it. Nor do I care if Internet Exploder is tied to its system.
It clearly reads like someone in the EU wants to make money or gain a little reputation for taking on Bill and his team of billionaires.
People and politicians in the EU are no different than their American cousins. Greedy, crooked and full of it.
It would be nice to be wrong but I bet this case will be nothing more than a Microsoft paycheck, er fine, to the EU.
