what about writes "News.com is reporting that the European Union still doesn't consider Microsoft in compliance (http://news.com.com/Europe+Microsoft+still+out+of+compliance/2100-1014_3-6048432.html?tag=nefd.top) with its anti-trust ruling." From the article: "Should the Commission issue a final decision against Microsoft, the software giant would face a retroactive fine of $2.36 million a day for the period between Dec. 15 and the date the final decision is issued. The Commission may then take additional steps to extend the daily fine until Microsoft complies with the order. The Commission's letter is just the latest action it has taken in the closely watched antitrust case. "
