Microsoft Faces EU Fines, Media Software Curbs

 
quote:BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp, the world's largest software maker, faces a European Commission fine for charges it abused its dominant market position and may be ordered to reveal key secrets to competitors and change the way it distributes its music and video software.

The Commission, the European Union (news - web sites)'s executive body, said on Wednesday that it felt it had a strong case in its four-year antitrust probe against Microsoft and the amount of the fine would be linked to the severity and duration of the company's perceived offence.

"At this stage, we have so much evidence and we are in possession of such substantive a file that we believe any decision we take will withstand scrutiny of the European court," Commission spokesman Tilman Lueder told a briefing.

i say $400 trillion dol3lars, and the complete works of microsoft to be turned over the the opensource community right before they disolve the company.
that sound about right?

M51DPS:
They must be fined 500 trillion dollars, the source code of windows must be turned over to the open source community to be laughed at, bill must publicly come forward and apologize for making such crappy products, and an international holiday, No More Microsoft Day, will be celebrated. Plus problems will now be refered to as microsofts, so that people will say, "There's a bit of a microsoft", "What's the microsoft?", and "Fix that microsoft".

Stilly:
how about Billy splits all his money and gives everyone who doesn't use windows a part and then gets flogged and or caned publicly

slvadcjelli42:
Yeah, that all sounds very good, but really, I'm just here to say YAY HOMESTAR RUNNER! Hahaha M51DPS good choice!
