ANNOUNCEMENT: The Future of Epiphany
,----[ Quote ]
| We will propose WebKit as an approved external dependency for Gnome.
|
| In case that we are unable to complete this development in time for
| 2.24.0, we will delay the new Epiphany to 2.26. For this end, we will
| maintain the gnome-2-22 branch in a state that allows us to potentially
| make the 2.24.0 release off of that branch.

Opera files EU antitrust suit against Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Opera Software has filed an antitrust suit against Microsoft in the European
| Union, accusing it of stifling competition by tying its Internet Explorer web
| browser to Windows.
|
| The complaint, which was filed by the Norwegian firm with the European
| Commission yesterday, says Microsoft is abusing its dominant position in the
| desktop PC market by offering only Internet Explorer as a standard part of
| Windows, and hindering interoperability by not following accepted standards
| with IE.
|
| Opera is asking the Commission, the executive branch of the European Union,
| to force Microsoft to unbundle IE from Windows, or include other browsers as
| a standard part of its operating system. It also wants it to require
| Microsoft to adhere to industry standards with its Web browser.
