I'd just like to add that the whole "EU vs Microsoft" thing was
started by a complaint by Sun to the European Commission in 1998.
After a quite complicated process, it ended up with the big fine and
requirements in 2007.
I don't know if the European Commission can start investigations on
its own, without a complaint

IANAL, I just work in a institution that is full of them, and
sometimes likes to uphold big fines to big companies
(http://curia.europa.eu/) ;)
