Microsoft fined $613million by EU Court

[JaXanim]

For stifling competition in the European software market, the EU Court in Brussels has today fined Microsoft a mind-boggling $613million! [EDIT: Some reports say £800Million..!!]

But of course, that's just a parking ticket for M$. Think what the Amiga could do with just one tenth of that. Hmm...

Just do a News Google on Microsoft. It's everywhere.

I think that's part of the issue on the M$ player. Why would Joe Public download anything, when Windows includes one free?

Brussels is annoyed 'cos M$ simply adds the latest musthave software into the OS rather than selling it on the open/competitive market. They and only they, can afford to do things like that.

The average pc user doesn't buy any alternative system if one's free with the kit. A bit like 'batteries included'.

I don't think they'll win this one.
