MS to ship substandard Windows if EU axe falls | |

That is, he told them nothing. But "Microsoft Corp said it would be forced to offer European consumers a substandard version of Windows if the European Union makes it re-write its operating system," sources close to the case said. Like us, you may be hard put to identify sources close to the company sufficiently enslaved to trot out that party line without comment - having a hand there all the time must surely be painful. | ||

i just do not see what the big deal is. the u.s. govt shoud have forced M$ do this from the beginning. this way M$ could come over to the EU and make a monopoly like they enjoy is the U.S.

| Ship Windows ME as the sub standard OS. That will get their attention. |

bono: It would take a whole lot longer than 1 yr to make any government crack for such a tactic.
Plus, such a tactic is a bit on the heavy-handed side for anyone. |
