Microsoft continues to push those rock up the hill only to have them fall back down. In this case it was an objection that Microsoft allow it's media player to be un bundled or competing players to be embedded in the system. At the same time the South Korean Fair Trade Commission fined MS $34 million dollars.
Microsoft appealed and then lost. An appeal is continuing to the South Korean Supreme Court. As I have said before, fines of this sort are completely meaningless to Microsoft. They can look at them as merely the cost of business and a trivial one at that. This 34 million dollar fine was the largest one every levied by the FTC in South Korea, yet it will have ZERO effect on Microsoft's behaviour.
Extensive legal push back on correcting MS's illegal behaviour has meant that enforcement of even the sweet heart deal they got with the Bush Justice department isn't being enforced. Given MS's tremendous bankroll, it will be DECADES before these issues are resolved.
