Microsoft Accuses European Union of Collusion

According to Microsoft: "While the documents provided do not include the direct correspondence between the commission and its technical experts, they show that the commission, the trustee, and Microsoft's adversaries were secretly collaborating throughout the fall of 2005 in a manner inconsistent with the commission's role as neutral regulator and the Trustee's role as independent monitor..."

    "...if Microsoft has reasonable evidence to the point, they have the right to claim damages."
