    Just patent sanctions in the EU. No more pesky anti-trust problems.

    From article:

    Microsoft was ordered to unbundle the software within 90 days - that deadline runs out on Monday.

    Paraphrasing:
    EU: "You must unbundle the software in 90 days"
    Microsoft: "Is it ok if I decide to not do it instead of doing it?"
    EU: "Ok!"

    Sometimes, court rulings should be just that.

    It would be cool if it didn't suck.
