Microsoft yet again

The long running disagreement between Microsoft and the EC Commission continues. Although Microsoft have appealed the finding of abuse of a dominant position (most recent hearing last month before the CFI), it failed in attempts to stay imposition of any ruling, pending the appeal. As Microsoft and the Commission have different views on what will constitute compliance with the Commission's order (particularly as complying with US regulator's requirements is considered not to be enough) the tom toms have long been augering additional daily fine. The threats, according to the Register, are getting louder - what will happen? Who will win the game of boundary pushing???
