EU Launches New Microsoft Investigation

So... how many times is the EU going to investigate this same thing? If MS is guilty, then they should have been dealt with the first time. Isn't there a law against charging and punishing someone with the same crime over and over and over and over and over and over?

I think we all know by now that MS is at least as abusive of its position as Intel (*cough*bribing Dell*cough*), Sony, and Apple (can only play iTunes songs on an iPod? iPhones being turned into bricks if you install LEGAL software made by any company other than Apple or its partners? Not even Microsoft ever did that! Please, give me an iBreak).

We don't need any more proof. They are all guilty and we know it. So to me this new investigation says nothing at all about MS. All it tells me is that the EU is doomed to collapse from sheer, utter incompetence.

The stuff they're charging MS for is really pretty controversial if you look at it. Installing IE on their own operating system shouldn't really be illegal. In fact, as much as I hate IE, I'd have to say that the other browsers are just jealous that they can't get at a market share because MS got the one up on them.

You have to define what is abuse of power, and what is just trying to gain an upper hand in the competition.

MS were guilty and they were fined $613million. Now they're doing something crooked again and they will be fined maybe billions of euro. If MS want to keep breaking the law eventually they'll be fined out of existence.
