Windows 7 tested by anti trust people

After the rulings in the past, it looks as if the anti trust, regulators will be taking an even closer look at Windows 7 than they have done with any other Microsoft product before. They will be checking through the operating system to ensure that it complies with the 2002 anti trust settlement.

This means that a panel of three experts will be working with anti trust officials, even though they have had copies of Windows 7 since March 2008, although it was not until December 2008 when Microsoft handed over some additional documentation.

For Microsoft this is nothing new, after all since the anti trust ruling in 2002 they have been constantly under scrutiny, so you would have thought that they would have go their act together and made doubly sure that there are no future problems.
