James Governor notes the important outcome of the EU court case against MS: if MS can't bundle media player, then a lot of other outfits are going to have issues with the EU as well:

Really- there is no clear set of principles to govern technology bundling, at the EU or the DoJ, which makes life hard for companies and regulators. I got the impression Microsoft would actually like to work with the EU to provide a set of useful usable principles in this area. And you know who will be in the firing line if these principles are in place… other major vendors such as Google, Apple and Qualcomm.

I suspect that a lot of people cheering this decision are going to live to regret it - and a lot sooner than they might expect.
