I thought it would be useful to put all the important information about the two new investigations of Microsoft by the EU Commission here. First, Opera's complaint to the EU Commission was deemed worth following through on. That is significant, indeed, but the ECIS complaint about Office is even bigger to FOSS, particularly with the Microsoft MSOOXML vote coming in February. One of the issues the EU Commission says it will be investigating is whether Office Open XML as implemented in Office is "sufficiently interoperable with competitors' products".
Heh heh. Maybe not.
