EU at end of tether with Microsoft

The Inquirer is reporting that the European Union is losing patience with Microsoft in regards to their anti-competitive behavior and the remedies for same. As the penalty for not coming to terms is a fine of 5% of daily revenues, there is a lot at stake here.

It had been my impression that while MS was reluctant, they had been complying to enough of a degree that only negotiation was needed to smooth the way for a final resolution. I guess I was wrong.

Watching this one is confusing in the extreme. What is clear is that MS stands to lose a lot if it isn't resolved soon.
