“European Commission (EC) to pursue antitrust case despite Microsoft’s IE decision. Antitrust remedies still needed because stripping out IE from the OS doesn’t give consumers a choice of browser, EC says” (source)

This proves me once again: EC’s anti-monopoly case business with Microsoft is all about money. That’s how I see it:

EC:   Microsoft, please remove IE from Windows!
MS:  Sorry, we can’t.
EC:   Remove IE from Windows, I say!
MS:  We still can’t.
EC:   Right, from now on pay us 10 million every week until you remove IE from Windows!
MS:  OK, we have removed it now. We don’t pay you the fine anymore
EC:   Good. Eeeerm… s***, we’ve just lost our regular customer income. No! Put it back, how will the users download their favourite browser then?!
MS:  ?!?!?

DreamSpark has become more “fruity” both in look and feel and content. There is a great variety of software from Microsoft you can get at http://www.dreamspark.com no cost:
