- Intel faces new antitrust charges in Europe: report
- Intel faces new antitrust charges in Europe: reportRather moot, isn't it?Sort of like the US case against Microsoft after Netscape was already pushing up daisies, any fines assessed against Intel won't revive AMD. In fact, it's a good bet that any fines against Intel will show up on the...

- Europe seeks to brand open source qualitySounds more like a effort at securing EU funding, not exclusionLooks like a reasonable idea. It does not seem like a very active project though. Their www.sqo-oss.eu site has not had any news for a year.To me it seems to be claiming it is...

- Will the EU fine change Microsoft?
- The impact of the European Union's $1.3 billion anti-trust fine against Microsoft is still reverberating. There's a new sheriff in town, the fine says. Her name is Kroes, Neelie Kroes. She's Dutch, and sits on the board of among others McDonald's Dutch affiliate. That...
