Seriously man.  they should say "Fie, don't like it.  We just won't sell our
products in Europe now."  That would last a freaking week.


I am reminded of the court trial of Hank Reardon in Ayn Rand's "Atlas
Shrugged".  When Hank refuses to give any sanction to the court, and they
basically have to throw away the charges because they know that they need
him, more than he needs them.


It sickens me.

Subject: Microsoft Fined 613 Million?!

I am still trying to understand how governments in the US and abroad can
force Microsoft to sell its products in certain ways or configurations.
Microsoft should be able to sell its products in any configurations it can,
and if you don't like some features either don't buy MS or don't use the
feature. I rarely use media player and have associated all media files with
different players I have, what's the big deal?

If you don't like something, don't use it. What's next? The NY Yankees are
going to get sued for being a powerhouse team for the next 10 years and the
circus courts in the US will force them to disband into 2 teams, one with
A-Rod and one with Jeter and tickets will be reduced by $25 to make them
affordable for a family of 4 to go to a game? I think not; and that is fine,
I don't like the ticket prices and I don't like the Yankees, so you know
what, I don't support them.

I can't wait to hear the replies on this one...  :-)
