  What Microsoft's EU Ruling Means to You
Time: 00:04 EST/05:04 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Watch | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

This week's European appeals court ruling means Microsoft will be confronted with making fundamental changes to core business practices and technologies, well beyond the European continent. Microsoft customers and partners should prepare now for what lies ahead.

The appeals decision puts Microsoft under strict government oversight in Europe. The European Competition Commission can—and almost certainly will—compel Microsoft to reveal much of its secret server sauce, to better interoperability with third-party software.

Additionally, the European Commission's position is emboldened for bringing actions against other Microsoft technologies, such as .NET, Office and search. The European Commission wants nothing less than the technological equivalent of breaking up Microsoft.

To bad they can't just pull operations from there and decide not to sell there products there.

but money is money and business is business and if they did that it will leave room for someone else and then what....

MS has repeatedly talked about their newfound love of interoperability, and they already pledged to open up their server communications protocols, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Providing an API is one thing - Providing source code is another!

this latest ruling will be as "effective" on the market as their forcing an 'n' version on the public.

IOW... a few nuances of the market dynamics will change, but the players (and their market shares) will not change.

And so goes the continued realization that government (be it American, Canadien, EU, or UN) is inept in every way.

#1, I guess they would adopt Linux just as Munich has done, or has Munich already given up on Linux?

munich, HOME of the guys writing the majority of the code... and they still can't get it done... 5 years later.

Some might call that... failure

An investor perspective -

I'll bet that MS apart is much more valuable than the unified company i.e.

$(OS + Apps) >> $(MS unified)

Mr Wilcox, the author of the article, made a show of ignorance and viciousness that makes him a perfect candidate to work for FOX News.

I love how MS' man at the DoJ, Thomas Barnett, came out with a baffling statement on how reigning in MS' anti-competitive behaviour was bad for competition. It's bad from Microsoft's point of view, but it's good for everyone else.

latch, dont be so naive. The ruling against msft is ONLY good for the lawyers involved and the politicians that get their pockets lined by both sides. REGARDLESS of the outcome (for msft, or against)... this holds true.
