Preedit writes "The committee that oversees Microsoft's compliance with
the 2002 antitrust settlement now has its hands on Windows 7. The
Technical Committee is checking to see if the software meets the
settlement's terms. Among other things, it's looking at whether Windows
7 favors Microsoft apps over third party programs, according to
InformationWeek. The story also notes that Vista SP1 includes a number
of changes that were added to satisfy the committee. For instance, it
eliminates several browser overrides where Vista ignored users' default
preferences and automatically launched Explorer. Windows 7 is due
sometime around 2010."
