Today’s decision by the European Court of First Instance upholding previous fines and penalties against Microsoft is neither surprising nor newsworthy.

The European government has traditionally taken a stronger stand and imposed more stringent sanctions against the U.S.-based software company for its alleged anti-competitive practices than did its Washington, D.C. counterpart, which (under a new Republican administration in 2000) rendered what was essentially a slap on the wrist against Microsoft in spite of it being found guilty of violating two sections of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
