Microsoft Faces Last Chance to Dodge Daily EU Fine | |
|
||
| Time: 00:05 EST/05:05 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
Microsoft has a last chance to convince EU regulators this week that the software giant should not be fined up to 2 million euros ($2.4 million) daily for failing to carry out antitrust sanctions. A European Commission hearing officer will listen to the company's defense on Thursday and Friday—behind closed doors—against charges Microsoft has dragged its feet in the two years since a landmark antitrust decision found it used the dominance of its Windows operating system to damage competitors. | ||

| Maybe if Ballmer holds his breath until he turns blue and throws a few chairs, the EU will let them off with a warning. |

All hail the EU; leaders of the bureaucratic state.
BTW I can’t see how they can realistically let MS off the hook on this one…who would want more rioting from French students? Shoot maybe the Belgium and Swiss will join in too. What a bunch of morons. |

I lived and worked and taught in Europe for many years - and could never understand any group. Individuals, yes, but any group larger than say five people? Nope - not at all.
It may sound very romantic, but until one looks back at America for so long and from so far away, one cannot understand just how magical a place America is - despite all its flaws, past failures and wrongs - it at least examines them, and works to correct them. The thing that struck me most about European leaders is how certain they were - not confident mind you, but in the context of convinced about...... fill in your own blank here. Their conviction so effectively isolates and constricts people - where what they are and might ever be is not just decided for them, but accepted. In the end it was just sad to watch play out time and again. |
