I take it most of you have been following the EU gang bang on Microsoft. Opera starts the fight. Mozilla joins suit on February 9. Google feels left out so it signs up today. But did anyone catch Mozilla's Open Source Evangelist, Christoper Blizzard, at this year's Scale conference? In the grandest figurative move of 2009 thus far, he rips apart his shirt, thumps his chest, and blusters about how great Firefox is doing in Europe; that since Firefox 3.0's launch last June, market share skyrocketed in Europe, from 30% to 40% today. Did anyone catch it?* Here's the page from his presentation, touting Firefox browser-share advancement. 
I know. So I'm sure you're just as confused as I am when the EU raises a stink about dominant position, stating in its Jan. 19th S.O.:
"The Commission is concerned that through the tying, Microsoft shields Internet Explorer from head to head competition with other browsers which is detrimental to the pace of product innovation and to the quality of products which consumers ultimately obtain."
