Windows 7 To Be "Thoroughly" Tested For Antitrust Compliance 364
CWmike writes "Technical advisers to the antitrust regulators who monitor Microsoft's compliance with the 2002 antitrust settlement will test Windows 7 'more thoroughly' than earlier versions of the operating system were tested, according to a new status report filed with the federal judge watching over the company. Microsoft is also facing renewed scrutiny from the EU, which two weeks ago filed preliminary charges against the company over bundling IE with Windows, and said more recently that Microsoft 'shields' IE from competition."

If we allow this sort of behavior to continue, it could hurt Linux adoption. MOD DOWN.

Since you're relatively new here, I won't try anything really sarcastic. Just a hint. NEVER, EVER say anything nice about IE6 around here. You can get away with saying good things about Microsoft (in general, but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays). You can even diss Apple or Google occasionally.
But IE6? That's toxic. Like Plutonium. Or George Bush. Welcome to Slashdot.
