Windows 7 To Be "Thoroughly" Tested For Antitrust Compliance

Posted by timothy on from the you-will-comply-citizen dept.

CWmike writes "Technical advisers to the antitrust regulators who monitor Microsoft's compliance with the 2002 antitrust settlement will test Windows 7 'more thoroughly' than earlier versions of the operating system were tested, according to a new status report filed with the federal judge watching over the company. Microsoft is also facing renewed scrutiny from the EU, which two weeks ago filed preliminary charges against the company over bundling IE with Windows, and said more recently that Microsoft 'shields' IE from competition."

    That means it's time to kick off the 2012 U.S. Presidential campaign race! Yes, that's right! The only way we can top the level of hype that was achieved in the last election is to begin the next election season immediately! Please commence verbal fellating of the Democrat candidate and character assassination of the Republican candidate immediately. Hurry up, because the 2016 election cycle begins next week!

  2. How about Samba3 aka NT4 Domain support? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Apparently this is broken intentionally or unintentionally in the Beta of Windows 7. This is a big issue as Samba 4 is not ready for production.

    I hope the Samba guys focus on this rather than Openchange for the moment.
