IBM, Oracle, Red Hat e altri aiutano l’UE contro Microsoft

Microsoft’s old enemies come out of the shadows: "Sun, Novell and industry association the CCIA, withdrew their support for the EC charges after Steve opened his chequebook and paid them millions to go away.

However it seems that another enemy has stepped into the breach. ECIS, the European Committee for Interoperable Systems, has members which include IBM, Nokia, Oracle, RealNetworks and Red Hat.

It has announced that it is helping the EU against Microsoft's attempt to reverse its antitrust conviction.

The European Court of First Instance has told the group that it is allowed to assist to the EC, which widens the role it had before".
