Transparency is vitally important in what can be a very opaque process in Brussels. We've decided to open this up so people can understand the issues.Horacio Gutierrez
Last week the Commission said it was premature for Microsoft to allege they are riding roughshod over our rights of defense.

Horacio Gutierrez
We have made every change the commission has asked us to make to the technical documentation, and we are prepared to do more if they request it. Yesterday's announcement underscores Microsoft's commitment to meeting the commission's demands.
