InfoWorldMike writes "EU commissioner Neelie Kroes has lashed out at Microsoft in comments to European parliamentarians Thursday, saying it is 'unacceptable' that the company continues to gain market share using tactics that were outlawed in the Commission's 2004 antitrust ruling against the software vendor. 'Three years later Microsoft still hasn't complied with the main demand imposed by the European antitrust ruling: that the company share interoperability information inside Windows at a reasonable price to allow rival makers of workgroup servers to build products that work properly with PCs running Windows.'"

oh, please. OpenOffice, Linux, unix, MacOS, AmigaOS, every mainframe has its own OS and apps, web apps... shoot, a Korean refrigerator with a touchscreen and an Ethernet connection can replace MS apps and OS. a blackberry can replace MS apps and OS for lots of folks with web apps.
