This Windows XP Service Pack 1 Preview reveals some interesting details about Microsoft’s plans to comply with the consent degree that is going to come out of their anitrust situation in Windows XP and future operating system releases. It seems, as always, that they are taking advantage of wording in the consent decree to do what they want, even if that flies in the face of the true spirit of the decree. I think this proves, for the umpteenth time, that they really need to be more strictly punished in this situation because it shows that they have little or no intention of actually changing the way they do business even if it has been found to be illegal by a court of law.
