Opera vs Microsoft

[ryanhellyer]

The little Norwegian browser company Opera has laid down the gauntlet to Microsoft with a scathing antitrust claim against them in the EU.

Opinions?

It'll also be interesting to see, if Opera does win in the EU courts, what kind of impact that will have on the Microsoft products in the US, as I'm pretty sure decisions of the EU courts are not binding on US courts.

It's possible that there may be different products sold in Europe than to the rest of the world then. One with IE and another browser or one with IE not built into the operating system as it is now. Then another 'standard' version could be sold to the rest of the world. I think a similar thing happened years ago with Netscape.
