Microsoft hit by huge EU fine
Fuck yeah.
That's what happens when a monopoly taking all the advantages common-law systems have to offer encounters a semi-continental legal system and especially European institutions which are by default terribly allergic of any monopoly and/or cartel tendencies among huge multinationals. Some people will probably suggest this is a witch hunt against the most successful US company. Those people would be wrong. The EU commission is ruthless when it comes to providing all companies with equal opportunities through the wonderful concept of free market. A while back Volkswagen, a proverbial fortress of Euro economy was ordered to pay almost a billion dollars when found guilty of breaching free-trade practices. |

As much as I dislike Microsoft as much as the next person, business is business. You gotta praise how smart and crafty they are!
And btw, that fine is laughable. That is pocket money to them. |

im sure they will stave off this paltry little fine [haha] with more and more delay tactics and even more appeals to however many more eu courts they can find to appeal to.
