Hello,

EU hands out a big defeat to Microsoft:

http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/sep2007/gb20070917_608668.htm

"The first type of conduct found to constitute an abuse was
Microsoft's refusal to supply rival companies with "interoperability
information" – crucial information about the Windows operating
system."

By way of remedy the Commission requires Microsoft to disclose the
"specifications of its client/server and server/server communication
protocols to any undertaking wishing to develop and distribute work
group server operating systems."
