The European Union is at it again by fining Microsoft $1.3 Billion Dollars for bundling their Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and other applications together with their newest operating system, Windows Vista. It is said that Microsoft is the first ever company in the EU to ever get fined for non-compliance after an anti-trust lawsuit against them. The 1.3 billion dollar fines amount from June 21st 2006 to October 21st 2007.

Overall this does not look so good for Microsoft. Sometime they will run out of money while this lawsuit goes on. Personally I think that Microsoft should just do what the EU says to be sure that they can still sell their products in that market, though I do not see them choosing that option anyways.
