+    <h1>Microsoft case: FSFE in European Court of Justice hearing</h1>
+
+<p>
+
+
+  Fresh action in the European Commission's <a
+  href="http://fsfe.org/projects/ms-vs-eu/ms-vs-eu.en.html">antitrust
+  proceedings against Microsoft</a>: On May 24, the European Court of
+  Justice conducts a hearing on Microsoft's appeal against the
+  fine. FSFE has <a
+  href="http://fsfe.org/projects/ms-vs-eu/timeline.html">participated
+  in the case</a> for a decade and will intervene on the Commission's
+  behalf.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Together with the Samba team, FSFE's legal counsel Carlo Piana and
+  President Karsten Gerloff will defend the freedom to
+  interoperate. They will reiterate FSFE's view that protocols and
+  interoperability information have no intrinsic value, but Microsoft
+  kept them secret so it could squelch rivals in the work group server
+  market.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  In February 2008, the European Court of Justice slapped the software
+  giant with a record EUR 899 million fine in 2008.
