Re: Microsoft just fined US$ 1.35 billion by European antitrust regulator

If I were to go to the US, I would not expect to have the freedom to
ignore local laws. Likewise, if Microsoft wishes to do business in the EU,
then it's fair to expect them to abide by European laws.

Yea, lets break up a successful company.... Governments (especially
socialist leaning ones like many found in Europe) can only screw up
business. (check out how well socialism and government control is
working for France...) When governments try to make things "fair"
they tend to *** something up. So how's that class envy, and
redistribution of wealth working out for you?

Purely using nominal GDP as a measure of market success, the EU is the
most successful market in the world.

So it seems to be working out pretty well.
