Microsoft Won't Appeal EU Ruling | |
|
||
| Time: 12:36 EST/17:36 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
Microsoft Corp. said on Monday it would not appeal a European Union court order to immediately implement antitrust sanctions, but that it remained optimistic it would eventually prevail in its main case. In December, the software giant lost a bid to delay sanctions imposed by the EU's executive Commission, but it is continuing with a separate, main appeal against the Commission's decision that Microsoft had abused its dominance. "Microsoft has decided to forego its right to appeal the Court of First Instance's ... ruling of December 22, 2004," it said in a statement. | ||

| The E.U. is about protectionism plain and simple. |

If copy protections weren't so frequently violated around the world, there wouldn't be much of an issue. And in countries across Europe where the THK [Technical Assistance Force] roams neighborhoods with forests of antennae atop their vans, searching for undeclared 9" B&W TV's and 300 Watt Microwave ovens to TAX and owners to fine, there would likely not be such an action.
It isn't even about a sense of right and wrong - EU holding out that it is protecting its people and businesses from an evil presence [The US and MS] - it "is" about money and craddle to grave governments looking for yet another source of revenue. Live there for a few decades - you'll kiss the ground beneath your feet in any of our United States. |
