The European Commission has decided to go against Microsoft again on that Internet Explorer matter. Practically, by bundling the web browser with the Windows OS, Microsoft is dominating the competition. The commission fined Microsoft last year for anti-competitive practices. After that $1.35 billion fine, the commission will continue its action against Microsoft:

Microsoft‘s tying of Internet Explorer to the Windows operating system harms competition between web browsers, undermines product innovation and ultimately reduces consumer choice.

Microsoft will have to answer to the charges in 8 weeks or else. We’re waiting to see what that means. In the mean time, it’s time for all the other browsers out there to gloat. Mozilla, Opera, Chrome, “how you doin’”?
