Europe rules against Microsoft

In Michael Moravec's opinion, the Microsoft ruling that comes almost ten years after the proceedings began points "to the past". "Because today's reality is very different to the one the case was originally based on. Google, YouTube, Apples iTunes: back then they existed only as ideas, if that; now they command market shares of up 80 percent. The fast-moving world of the Internet is apparently moving too fast for the European Commission. It isn't in a position to say whether Vista's Media Player software breaches competition laws or whether it's fair because alternative programmes are on offer. And no one in Brussels can say whether it's fair that Apple, with its 70 percent share of the market for music content from the Internet, continues to release songs only for its own hardware. It's too soon to say, we'll have to see, seems to be the general stance. Microsoft's allegations that the European Commission's indifferent and somewhat unworldly attitude in this area means that it's failing to keep up with new developments can't be simply dismissed offhand."
