Way to get your opinions from Neowin rather than getting the information from the source. The EU is still "whining" about browsers because Microsoft's competitors are still "whining" to the EU that Microsoft is breaching antitrust law.

And by antitrust law, I don't mean it's simply "unfair". Lots of things are unfair. Antitrust law is much more specific: Microsoft's competitors are saying that Microsoft is leveraging their monopoly in one market (desktop OSes) in order to give themselves a monopoly in another market (desktop browsers). All of your other points are irrelevant as Apple and Linux do not hold monopolies in these areas or competitors have not complained to the EU about them.

You're accusing the court for the cases that are brought up inside it. These are anecdotal complaints rather than lawsuits, but the sample principle applies - the EU isn't doing the accusing, Microsoft's competitors are.

See this? This is an intelligent, well-researched comment from someone in possession of the facts.

In many ways, it is the antithesis of the article it's replying to.
