Seriously ???
They should hold a competition here for how can make the most bias anti EU comment. ^_^

Just a question, if you get a ticket for speeding, and you don't pay up, what happens then???
MS got initially "only" fined for around $500, that things got out of hand was MS own fault, if they had cooperated with the EU more from the beginning it would had properly bin even less.

And fines are high in the EU for anti completive behaviour, Heiniken got 200m euro's for price fixing in Holland (17m people or only 3% of EU population).
And there are many more fines like this mainly for EU companies, so don't say it only fines US companies, EU companies get fined just as hard

And on top of that, if you keep on speeding, then on a certain moment, dose the fines not stack up so mouths that have to choose, between driving whit in the limits or stop using you car.
(sticking your head in the sand only works so long ^_^)
So in the end you eider, comply whit local law and pay up, or leave the biggest market in the world.

MS was thinking FU EU we do what WE want, but the EU said FU back to MS, you WILL do what we demand by law.
Steve Ballmer fought the law, and the law won.
(and it really dose not help to be a hard head, if you fight the law)

The fine was 1% of the budget if that has to save the EU economy, they would have bin in deep shit a long time ago.

ps. I live in Norway, and we are not part of the EU and properly never will be part of it, but saying that they are money grabbing ass***** go's for me a bid far, as the EU dose a lot of good AND bad, but this one was all on MS imho.
