Microsoft Lose EU Antitrust Case

The gist of the whole matter is Microsoft Windows bundle with Windows Media Player is seen as a monopoly move by giant Microsoft which has caused minor players unhappiness. Microsoft is being ordered to pay approximately S$1 billion fine for this EU Antitrust case. On top of that, Microsoft is being accused of not releasing its code to others and making difficult for other software to interface with Microsoft's.

Personally, I feel the decision is unfair since the final decision is the customers'.
