Confirming the rumor from early June, The European Court of First Instance announced today that they will rule on September 17 on Microsoft’s appeal of the European Commission’s antitrust judgement against them. And yes, the decision can be appealed to the European Court of Justice.
There has been some speculation that if the court supports the European Commission, then they will become more aggressive in pursuing complaints about Windows Vista. As for the separate complaint that Microsoft has not been forthcoming with the documentation required by the original judgement, a spokesman for the Commission says that they are “still investigating.”

“still investigating.”
Translation: the finding of guilt was predetermined, now we’re just bidding our time to announce it because we don’t know which way the Court of First Instance is going to rule. :-)
