[Sheflug] Microsoft-EU Commission Deal

[Richard Ibbotson <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"We will use the upcoming month of market testing carefully to review 
whether the changes to the ballot screen in the new proposal will 
result in a real and unbiased choice of browsers, and whether the 
suggested review mechanism will be effective.
The revised interoperability settlement does not appear to deal with 
the inadequacies of Microsoft’s standards compliance, unfair pricing 
practices or other concerns related to patent abuse or standards 
manipulation. It also relies heavily on private enforcement, where 
past experience has shown that scrutiny by public authorities is 
critical to ensure Microsoft's compliance with such promises."
