The EU is a quirky bunch, last year they were threatening Microsoft over unique features in Vista. ;-)

It is just initial research about monopoly (MS).
But now it is about abusing bundling, and could end up with a demand of not
bundling .NET with Windows (In EU).

How could even those quirky EU commissars consider the .NET framework some sort of unfair advantage.

It's just speculating at the moment, and if 'it becomes true' it will take
years.
The Delphi related?
Just be aware of there could come a day where you cannot say 'okay, the .NET
is installed everywhere'.

It's highly doubtful that there will ever come a day that the .NET framework is installed everywhere.

Another outcome could be '.NET is installed everywhere(incl. Linux)' which
will be a better outcome.

I wonder what Paul Nichols will have to say about that being a better outcome. ;-))
