Let me just see if Microsoft is in bed with CompTIA... Yep, Microsoft has a stake in that company. I wonder why they would be displeased with the EU ruling... The A+ exam forces you to learn Windows and not concepts that are helpful in any operating system. Vendor lockin at its finest.

Quote

Throughout the commission's opaque process, it has never been able to identify quantifiable consumer harm. On the contrary, evidence provided to regulators and the court, as well as anecdotal market data, strongly suggests that both the markets for Media Player and server technologies actually thrive. Much to the commission's chagrin, consumers and competitors have reaped tremendous benefits wholly independent of the commission's policing authority. That complex, technological markets can flourish without European Commission intervention causes the regulatory body immense consternation. Thankfully, it has had little or no role to play in the design of IT products to meet consumer demand.


By flourish, I'm sure he means stifle innovation.
