With an estimated $50 billion in cash reserves, $600 million isn't exactly going to wipe 'em out - but I'm glad they did get stuck with the full fine. It's not time for major celebration yet, though, because the real battle is still ahead. What hasn't yet been resolved is whether Microsoft will be forced to unbundle Windows Media Player from Windows, and provide interface specifications to the OS for competing application vendors. Stick with it, EU - we need you on this.
