It took a kick in the rear from MS and others to get it going at all. As for all the problems with MS, I switched to Mozilla and a good firewall, and now no problems at all. It's IE, not MS generally, that is the problem. Anywho.... quote: "We've shipped a new version of Windows, we've paid a historic fine, and we've provided unprecedented access to Microsoft technology to promote interoperability with other industry players," Mr Smith added. "In total, we have now responded to more than 100 requests from the Commission."

Here's the problem with the EU. I'm not an MS fan, but I sympathize with anyone who has to deal with the red-tape-loving bureaucracy of the EU. Unless you happen to be Airbus, they are forever a PITA to deal with. [/QUOTE]It is worth noting that Microsoft has been trying to do what it does in the US, the bare minimum to meet the requirements from the EU's judgement, less than the minimums if it thinks it can get away with it, so while it may have opened it's source more than ever before, it's a vague milestone, if I wrote a program and showed you 3 lines of code, I could still quite truthfully tell you I've shown you more of the code than I showed anyone else in the world and made it available to you, it doesn't mean what you've seen is at all usefull, or that it meets the requirements of the judgement against Microsoft.
