InfoWorld | at | by Mike

A group of five large technology vendors, including IBM and Oracle, have officially been approved to raise their voices against Microsoft in an appeal of the European Commission's antitrust case.

IBM, Oracle, Nokia, RealNetworks, and Red Hat have applied to participate under the umbrella group to support the Commission's efforts.

The acceptance of ECIS makes no difference from Microsoft's point of view, according to company spokesman Dirk Delmartino. The ECIS members were already participating through other intervening groups, he said.
