More Antitrust issues For Microsoft

Microsoft may have won a year-long quest to make its Office Open XML document format an ISO-recognized international standard, but claims of foul play in the voting process may come back to haunt the software giant when the European Commission concludes its latest antitrust investigation of Microsoft's business practices.

When the Commission, Europe's top antitrust authority, opened a probe into Microsoft's business practices in January, it said part of the investigation would examine whether OOXML, as the format is known, is "sufficiently interoperable with competitors' products."

A month later the Commission sent a confidential request for information to all the national divisions of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) in Europe, asking for information about the ongoing process of assessing OOXML.

1. If Microsoft is innocent in all of these antitrust claims then why does the European Commission seem obsessed with Microsoft
2. If Microsoft is in fact guilty of all of these claims then are they too stupid to get it right. It just cause them a huge percentage of their profit last year....is that not motivation enough
